IN: I upped my game only to discover I did n't really have a game yet . I do remember one weird afternoon with the three of us lying on a bed intertwined passing a bottle of Harvey 's Bristol Cream . My friend later managed to rhyme Harvey 's Bristol Cream in a love poem he wrote her so kudos to him . After he left I was determined to make my move . Sometime later that summer , we were in the kitchen ( mine I think ) eating cereal when out of nowhere I kissed her .
Why does the narrator feel so many jitters ?

OUT: They have a crush .

IN: I had the privilege of being around this boy for the first 5 months of his life , during rehearsals and State competition . He was always so happy . I remember , during competition , he would just crack up whenever he heard the word " lunch " . Then he spit up in Sean Kerrigan 's lunch ... and just laughed about it .
What may be true about the boy ?

OUT: He is a baby .

IN: Sadly this tiny girl had a medical condition precluding getting an epidural ; she had a long and painful labor , even though it was short by any standard . She pushed like a champ and her long , skinny baby boy slid out without a single tear . I love the deliveries where mom is not so tired and gorked out and the baby is screaming so heartily , I can just slide the kid up to mom 's belly and let her hold it immediately .
Who is the person telling the story ?

OUT:
An experienced OB - GYN
