Which Way is Out?

How cool would it be if there was a flashing neon sign next to the placenta in the womb with a huge arrow, pointing the way out into the world? BIRTH CANAL EXIT HERE or LIFE OUTSIDE THE WOMB 12 INCHES. Do you think that would freak a kid out? I suppose it probably would, since holding a flashlight to your tummy makes them move a little.

Of course, if we had that, we’d probably all be born able to follow directions and I know for a fact that following directions is learned behavior. And some people learn that the hard way. Oh yeah, and the whole reading thing. There would be no reason for school if we came out reading signs….
