1. My parents conceived me on April Fool's day, 1984. They are thirty-five.
2. After hours of labor and with reluctance I emerge from my mother's womb with the help of forceps, a doctor's hand, and my mother bearing down. I take my first breath.
3. I open my eyes for the first time.
4. My brothers and my sister hold me. They are so young and we are not yet tainted by the world's cruelty.
5. My mother becomes very sick because the doctor accidentally leaves a part of the placenta inside the uterus. My mother has a radical hysterectomy.
