INTERPRETATION OF A DREAM THAT CAME TRUE.
And I was Born
One evening while preparing dinner, my grandmother looked curiously at my mother's face and inquired:
" how are you? yesterday night I saw your father throwing a kapul ( our language for cuscus/ koala) on my lap?"
That was a year after my grandfather died.
Reading between the lines, my mother responded; " I am 2 months pregnant."
My grandmother told her: " The baby sleeping inside your womb is a girl."
Mum smiled and joy filled her heart because she had 3 sons and longed for a girl.
And indeed, I was born.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
