Ridiculous Tale.

I was suddenly reminded of a story which I once heard when I was young.

It is said that pregnant woman should refrain from eating certain food or to cut down on the intake of certain food. In this particular story which I heard, the food for thought is: Pineapple.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The older generation always says that pregnant woman should refrain from eating too much pineapple as it is considered "cold" food, and is not good for health.

Once, there was this pregnant woman who loved eating pineapple. Despite warnings and reminders, she still doesn't listens.

One day, she suddenly had a craving for pineapple. Some time after she finished the pineapple, she started having stomachache. And thus, went to relieve herself.

For the next few days, she started to notice the absence of movement from her baby and decided to go for a checkup. To her horror, her baby was no longer inside her.

No one had any idea where the baby went or how it "disappeared". A few days later, her toilet started to clog up and she engaged a plumber.

To everyone's horror, the cause for the clog is a fetus. The woman's missing fetus.

It is said that because of her excessive consumption of pineapple, she has caused her fetus to be "flushed out" together with her "big business" when she relieved herself. Her stomachache is caused by having too much "cold food" which affected her body constitution.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I heard this story, I was only a little girl, still in primary school. And thus I did not realize the absurdity of this story. It was only years later that when I think back to this story, that I realized how ridiculous it was.

Can anyone tell me how are you supposed to pass out the fetus when it is in your womb?

So there you go my friends.

Can you think of how many ridiculous tales you were being told when you were a kid?

All about

Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)

but Master of none.
(trying to!)

This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.

A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.

I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.

So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!
