It's not a baby till it comes out—that's what birthdays are all about."

Ma'am I was born seven months after my conception. My brother was born ten months after his.

I was living in a box with tubes to provide me with necessary nurishment. He was in our mother's womb with an umbilical cord to provide him with necessary nurishment.

I was warmed with pads. He was warmed by our mother's body.

We required round the clock care. Without it we would have died.

Can someone explain to me why for those three months I was a person and he was not?

Is it just because you could see me?

it goes right along with their head in the sand philosophy. If they can't see it, it doesn't exist.

Most of us got over the hiding under the blanket so the monster can't see me game when we graduated to 4th grade.
