The Sleeping Powers of the Preggers

What’s with pregnant women that when you eat their food, you seem to have taken a sleeping potion and your eyes would start drooping. Have you ever experienced this?

Well, I was not quite convinced of the “sleeping power” of the preggers as I believed it was only cooked up by our super-smart ancestors for us not to deprive the conceiving ladies of their food. But lo! Was I proven wrong!

One night, going home, rush hour and all, the MRT was again packed to the brim. When I finally got my train ride, I was pushed to stand near a very pregnant lady. Sitting in front of her is a man of maybe 50 years, but definitely not yet a senior citizen. The person sitting on the man’s right is a very abled lady, same with the two on his right. It was funny to see all four fell into slumber as they realized who was standing in front of them. You see, the sperminated lady made them all sleepy, proving the olden belief that pregnant women would cause you to sleep. But going back, the funny part did not last at it turned to annoyance as these big boned beings as healthy as a farm carabao could not even offer their seat to an almost laboring mom-to-be. I had the urge to offer the lady my place but hers was much much better compared to mine so I refrained.

Moral of the story, the old ones are always right. So peeps, remind me not to get pregnant again because I might send the whole nation to sleep or go on a killing spree to lessen the people who have lost the common good in them.
