Abstract
My mom has this story she likes to tell that I've always believed is totally fiction. This isn't out of the ordinary-my mom has lots of stories that are, um, exaggerated to say the least. We, her family, have heard numerous versions of how, during childbirth, she broke out of restraints (restraints!) and, depending on the day she tells the story, kicked the nurse/doctor/security guard across the room. In another tale, she suffered through a gynecologic procedure so painful that she dug her fingers into the marble slab on which she was sitting. (Was she a hunk of cheese? And also-what superhuman/supercheese strength! She penetrated marble with her bare hands!) Anyway, let's just say Mom knows how to spin a yarn.
