….The doctor said to my mom, “Push!”<\/em><\/strong> Actually, this isn’t true for two reasons:<\/p>\n

i. Mom had me thru C-Section. They never told her to push me out because when she had my older brother three years before me, she also had him thru C-Section. In Russia, once you have a child through C-Section, all the children that follow thereafter must also be had through C-Section – whether you can push or not. That was the law then. It mighta changed now.<\/p>\n

ii. I was born in Russia….where they speak Russian. Even if the doctor had told her to push, he\/she would have said “Push” in Russian. I’m sure the Russians have a word for that in their language. Heck if I know.<\/p>\n

So before you go judging me, it wasn’t my fault that I was born thru C-Section. It obviously wasn’t because my head was too big to pass thru the birth canal. I was never given the chance to. What can I say? Right from birth, there were certain parts of the female anatomy I did not want to have ultra-close contact with – unless they belonged to me.<\/p>\n

Soooo it’s my birthday today! Woulda written a long post thanking God for His grace and goodness in my life, but I decided to tell Him privately. Every couple needs their privacy, you know? Yes, I’m insinuating that God is my Man. Anyway, in case you’re wondering, I have no plans for today – other than being pampered by anyone and everyone – including God….and you, of course.<\/p>\n

Sooooo……<\/p>\n

*** Call if you wanna. If I don’t pick up, call again. I’ll like to talk to you. <\/em><\/strong>
*** Text if you wanna…. I’ll reply for sure.<\/em><\/strong>
*** E-mail if you wanna… I’ll reply that too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But most importantly, put my gift in the mail, or else, I will show you my true colors. No try me ooo! Boy, I cannot wait to eat my birthday cake which Funmi will be buying me. It is tradition that she buys me cake. I think I need to call her and ask her to add ice cream to the list. Cake & ice cream…. yummy!!!<\/p>\n

See you on Saturday, Jan 17th. Wish I could say I would return on Saturday as a different person (as per since I’m now a year older), but the koko of the matter is that I will continue to be as mischievous as I’ve always been. If the chance presents itself, I would definitely drug Funmi’s milk with Busola’s breast milk again. And if I meet Wes\/Lee\/Gbenga, I shall oblige him and then blog about it. Why shall I shy??? After all, I’m officially XX years old now. What else do people my age do?? I dunno. I have 365 days to explore. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
