When I was in Spain, I met a young Australian woman who told me the following:<br /><br />She'd been touring Rome with a group of students from the Catholic Seminary there. At the end of a long afternoon, they all sank gratefully into chairs at a sidewalk cafe, and my friend announced,<br />"Golly, I'm knocked up."<br /><br />I still smile every time I think about it.Margaret Fielandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639464925210908450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363676184114538880.post-13542806430593995342010-06-24T08:30:52.037-04:002010-06-24T08:30:52.037-04:00Fun interview.
