I still remember that strange gathering of our relatives at our house the day my parents went to pick up my sister from the city police station. They all came to our house early that morning to see the newborn. They gathered around the television, listening to the long list of names recited by a young newsreader... until my parents returned, before they cheered when the newsreader mentioned my sister's name. I asked my aunt in surprise what was happening: "Did you all gather like this the day my parents went to pick me up from the city?!" She said: "No, your parents didn't even go to the city to pick you up. You're just like the rest of the village children. Your parents picked you up from the local village police station. As for Susan, things are a little different. She's a blue-collar worker." She sighed and added absently: "God sent that baby girl to our family at exactly the right time."
