Best twist ever in a book - the opening of "Lady Sings the Blues", autobiography of Billie Holliday. "Mom and Pop were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was eighteen, she was sixteen, and I was three."

I have never been pregnant, but I've left my keys in the front door more than once. I've also left my keys hanging from our locking mailbox.
