All Them Houses - an excerpt

All Them Houses - an excerpt

"My mother accompanied me the day I visited Dr. Kingstone whose office at that time was on Vaughan Road in Toronto.  His swift diagnosis was pregnancy.

My mother's comment to the good doctor that day, I remember well. She's too young to be having a baby.

I also remember the doctor's response.  No, not at all.  She's at the perfect age and she is well built.

I still remember my shock when the doctor said these words.  He caught himself quickly and said, What I mean is she has wide hips.  She is built well for having babies.

I still laugh remembering that day.  But it was true, my wide hips were to be a blessing.

I was eighteen years old and I was expecting my first child.
