The Morbid Story of how my parents decided to have a third child (ME)

in #funny7 years ago (edited)

For many of us, our parents either decided they were having kids, or there was an 'accident'. But for my parents I was a calculated decision.
By this time they had already had my two older sisters who I am sure they were pleased with. Then it suddenly occurred to them, that WHAT IF, one of them died. Then the sibling would be left as an only child and have nobody to grow up with. This scared them and they did not want to take any chances with the worst case scenario. So they decided it was best to have a third child. And that is why I am here today.
I was told this story matter of factly, by my mother during the story of how she had planned the names of my two sisters but not mine, and that is why she let my sister (who was 4 at the time) name me.
Some stories are just best left untold.

hahaha completely.

@teggit - this is such cool (but, morbid story you are correct!) story..yet the corners of my mouth can't help break into a little smile as I realise how our amazing steemit buddy came in existence :)) resteemed

Haha Thank You! I know it can be really hard for people to look at a situation like that and many others and find the humour. Life has not been easy but the easiest thing you can ever do is laugh at your situation one way or another. That is how I get by and I hope these stories make people smile!
