"I swallowed a squid," Nora announces. The family sits stunned. "I was swimming in the ocean when I gulped down sea water and now there are certain swells in my stomach." Three months prior, she bought a bikini. Wow! The umbrella-boy thought so too. He donned sunglasses and kept adjusting his shorts. Six months after Nora swallowed a squid, her water broke. All I could think was Nora’s having an octopus-baby.
