Hahaha. :) Reminds me of my own hospital tour.
This made me laugh out loud. Very nice.
I'm an L/D nurse and the only thing I disagree w/ is the don't take any prenatal classes. I would love it if our moms would take childbirth classes...then I wouldn't have to explain what a urethra is.
Equal parts hilarious and tragic. Love the ending :)
Love it.
