Under the Cabbage Leaves

We were found in the garden under cabbage leaves, my twin and I. Our grandmother saw us first, but she did not want to be our mother. So she sent Mommy out, and bam. There we were! She almost missed my identical twin, and she stepped on her foot. That is why my twin always walked with a limp. Our father and grandfather were amazed and delighted When they carried us into the house. Grandpa wanted to keep one of us, probably my sister. But Grandma said "no" And that is how we were born.

Such are the explanations when we were little kids. Zillions of adults think they were delivered by a stork because they can't imagine their parents having S-E-X. (chuckling)

I know - I cannot imagine my MOTHER having sex.
