My Sister’s Blood Baby
In 2013 my sister decided to lose some weight because everyone was asking her if she was pregnant. She had a belly that looked like she was 9 months pregnant, and people would say, ‘Oh when are you due?’ and she’d say, ‘I already had her… eight years ago…’ Or if they asked her, ‘AreContinue reading “My Sister’s Blood Baby”
