“I was just admiring your necklace.”

“Oh, thank you! Did you do VBAC?”

“No, I’ve never been to Canada.”

“Oh, it’s not a mountain. It means ‘Vaginal Birth After Cesarean’. I delivered two babies from my vagina after my C-section!”

“Okay…”

“Some people don’t want vaginal births after Cesareans because during labor, the uterus can split open along the old C-section scar. But I didn’t have a uterine rupture or an infection or a bowel injury! I rock!”

“Will you excuse me? I need some more meatballs.”

I wish there was some way to tell when something isn’t really hand made. Some kind of keywords, or phrases to look out for. Hmmmm.

It sure is tricky. I don’t know how Etsy manages to stay on top of it!

This is almost enough to make me want a cat.
