An idle mind is a dangerous one, #2

A heavily-pregnant colleague came to visit us today. We were all staring in amazement at the size of her belly.

You know how sometimes you can tell if someone is staring at you (when you’re not looking at them, that is) — and it gives you prickles along the back of the neck, or whatever? I wonder if foetuses get that feeling, which would suck, since they can’t exactly turn around and check.

(I mean buns in the oven that are more buns than dough. I don’t believe a human being has been created from the moment of conception.)
