Yeah, impressive, right? Real classy. 'So, how did your parents meet?' Now, there's a story to impress your new friends. And it gets worse: my dad doesn't even get to find out til my mom comes to his dorm one day and drops off a freaking baby. I have no idea what she had planned--- no, knowing my mom, she probably didn't have any plan in mind. Mom's the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of person, which isn't really the attitude you'd want your neurosurgeon to have, I'd think.
That was what she does for a living, by the way. Mom's a neurosurgeon. She'd just found out she had gotten into medical school when bouncing baby boy appeared, and she had a choice: raise this one night stand lovechild or go to med school. I mean, she could've done both, but it wouldn't have been pretty, and even she knew that. Honestly I'm really glad she didn't try.
