Lincoln's birthday

[L Verge]

I am surprised that Dr. Temple would espouse such speculation. I am a prime example of someone who got pregnant on her honeymoon and whose daughter was born three weeks before her due date. I'm sure the old bitties of the neighborhood started counting their fingers, but luckily (and unluckily for my daughter), she was born severely jaundiced and remained in the hospital for ten days to let the lamps do their work. She missed having a total blood transfusion by two points on whatever scale is used. I think that hushed the snickering crowds. I sympathize with the Lincolns.

P.S. I absolutely love good, southern pralines, but will not eat them again after hearing their reference here!
