On the Nerves

Seven months pregnant, my hand on my aching back, I stood in line at the post office for what seemed an eternity. "Honey," said a woman behind me, "I had back pain during my pregnancy. I was bedridden for four months because my baby was sitting on a nerve." Then the man in front of me piped up.... "You'd better get used to it now. Once those kids get on your nerves, they can stay there till they're 18."
