doctor doctor.

Lieutenant Baby Doctor is asking me a series of questions.

LT BD: Will you be having a tubal ligation?

I stare blankly.
ME: I don't know what that is.

LT BD: Sterilization?

I think everything should be sterilized during delivery.
I don't answer.  I continue to stare blankly.

LT BD:  Are you getting your tubes tied?

Comprehension suddenly comes when medical procedures are explained in laymans terms.
Me: Oh!  No.  No.  I don't want that.

I was really thinking she meant putting a sterile tube up my queen victoria.  I wasn't sure why it was optional or what the purpose was.

Was she Chinese???? Why would anyone except a communist ask a first-time mother if she was having a tubal ligation? Would she ask that of Michelle Duggar? I bet she'd get an answer back from her!

BTW-I think it's funny that you didn't understand at first.
