"Fell pregnant" is a typical British expression: it's what everyone normally says, not particularly liberal. It does have the jarring sound of "fell ill" --- as if pregnancy were a disease --- but that's not necessarily the attitude of British folk who use this common phrase.

And no, that doesn't make Stanley Ann a "ho." She was in exactly the same position as Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol: fell in love, slept with her boyfriend, got pregnant, got married. It's not the right order in which to sschedule these events, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that evey single one of us has ancestors who did it exactly that way -- or did it ourselves.

A little irresponsible? Sure. Shocking? Hardly.

Thanks for explaining that. We have British friends who would always call their babies, toddlers, children all “stupid.” “How *stupid*!” We helped them to understand that while they were in the U.S., our backwards government might likely send CPS to take their children due to emotional abuse. Stupid to them I guess means something akin to silly or goofball.

Re: the topic of the mother....does anyone know if the photos taken of the lady (in her birthday suit at Christmastime), purported to be her, are actually her?
