I met a witch.
At a Christmas party!
I'm talking to a friend at an open house yesterday, who is having a c/s on Thursday. Random woman comes up and starts trying to talk her out of it. Friend's need for a c/s is as valid as they come, a breech baby with a massive fibroid blocking the cervix - fibroid needs to come out, they'll do it all at once, etc.
Random woman starts going on about how c/s are NEVER needed. I'm thinking, huh, is she some sort of midwife or something? When friend asks, she says, no, I'm an ordained witch. That should have been the cue to run to the buffet, but no, 20 minutes later we hear about how she herself was born by c/s, and children born by c/s are set up for a lifetime of pain.
You know, because if your first exposure to water was being dropped in the arctic ocean at age 5, you'd never swim again. And since her first exposure to the world was the cold sterile environment of an operating room, she learned immedialtly that world was a scary place, and she could not love. Alas, now, at 48, she's starting to retrain herself. But the emotional scars of a baby victimized by c/s will never be truly healed, and will still bleed long after the mother has stopped.
Oh, and she's oh so very close to having her own TV talk show.

So was she a good witch or a bad witch? Or is she sort of a bad witch trying to "retrain" herself at 48 years old?
Did you follow-up with..."Oh I remember how it was so blissful and loving being squeezed out of my mom's pelvic area and vagina! Now I realize why I have led a perfectly blissful existence and I should call my mom's vagina and thank it!"
Are you united with the CCOKCs?
I wanted to ask exactly who ordains a witch, but then I realized, I just wanted the conversation to end. Quick.
But I will be sure to thank my mom for birthing me correctly so I can love!
I just snorted at this.
