Jacqueline is busy moving her family into their beautiful new home, and they've all got colds. So I'm at at again!
We actually have two stupid bitches this week, to make up for last week. Numero uno is Rajo Devi, who, at 70 became the oldest woman on Earth to give birth. Her husband and her having been trying in vitro for 5 years, and if finally worked. Why did they wait so long? Because her (corpse) husband is gonna kick the bucket soon and by Indian law, they need an heir to keep the farm in the family. Riiight. Way to populate an already overpopulated country. As Lisa Belkin asked in The New York Times Motherlode blog: “Ms. Devi’s newborn can be called a triumph of science over infertility, but is this really triumph? Where does the yearning to be a parent become selfish disregard for the life of the child being created? A child whose parents will almost definitely not see her into adulthood? How old is too old to have a baby?”
Our second SBOTW is Elizabeth “Lizzy” Frisinger. Little Lizzy is an 18 year old from Cleveland who porked for the first time. The problem? She sent a text message to her Dad to announce it. Now obviously, she didn't mean to text him. Her Dad responded with "I’m assuming this was intended for someone else. Get home now, use my credit card." Look, I can speak from experience when I say you typically go to great lengths to keep your parents in the dark about that kinda stuff. (Now me, I was only slightly smarter, I'll admit. I wrote it down. In my diary. And then hid my diary between my mattress & boxspring. Yes, they found it. HELL YES they were pissed!) Still, I was able to hide my lack of virginity for two years before either one of them found out. (Granted, they had their suspicions, and....Oh screw it, they knew all along and didn't say anything.)
So, to Raji & Lizzy: CONGRATULATIONS! You've both earned the title of Stupid Bitch of the Week!
