Seduced Labor

As a pastor, I had a woman come to me with very proud news, but she mispronounced the word she thought she was saying. One of those moment I couldn't laugh.


 

 
She approached with her face one big smile.
She had great news she wanted to say
so she spoke so loud everyone could hear
no matter if they stood far away.
 
“I’m a grandma for the first time,” she said
and she looked with great pride at her neighbor.
“They took my daughter to delivery
and they carefully seduced labor.”
 
It would have been wrong for me to comment
Or correct the wrong work she used.
So I just congratulated her
and did not reveal I was amused.
 
“Did they put a HyVee in her arm?”
I asked in my best orneriness.
Unaware I had said anything wrong,
“As a matter of face,” she said, “yes!”
