When the lightning struck I was literally shook out of bed. I woke-up to myself SCREAMING, clutching my stomach. No it wasn't indigestion of some strange lightning cramp; we are expecting our first child in December. I didn't feel sick, but definitely felt the strangest sensation I had ever felt. I wasn't sure if it was adrenaline, or if I was feeling some sort of strange electrified aftershock!
My doctor said as long as we can hear a heartbeat and I can feel him move all is good in baby land. We, on the other hand, have a different perspective:
(1) This child could end-up being a delinquent, a drop-out, a republican...etc...all of which we will be able to blame on the lightning strike. Every time he gets a poor grade, or doesn't make a team, we can always say "Well it isn't because he doesn't try, or because we are bad parents, it's because as an unborn he was struck by lightning." It's the greatest excuse ever! We will never have to question our parenting skills
(2) If, however, this child ends-up brilliant or some child prodigy it will have absolutely NOTHING to do with the lightning strike waking-up unused brain cells. No sir! It will all be due to his good genetics and our brilliant child rearing.
It's a win-win situation!
