My husband is a scuba diver and Cooper Island was one of the few places in the BVIs you could get scuba tanks filled at the time. We would always stop there when we sailed between the islands. There used to be a beach bar on Cooper Island in the British Virgin Islands (BVIs) that had this “let’s not waste time with chit-chat” type of philosophy. There’s really a lot that can be said about celiac/gluten intolerance/gluten sensitivity and the gluten-free diet, so when a person wants to know more, why waste time on the preliminaries? Or, you’re perfectly fine with the conversation, but want to skip the basics and get to the core stuff. Oh, we all forget what folks have told us before and repeat our questions to them sometimes, but with some folks, the questioning can become more than a bit tedious and you don’t always want to answer. Hey, “due date apparel” might be my million-dollar idea! But I digress. How hard was that to remember? A maternity top with the due date would have been nice, or maybe with the more recent showing off of the baby bump, I could have worn tight-fitting tops with 12-24 stamped on all of them-perhaps over an image of a Christmas present perhaps or a bambino in Christmas attire. When I was pregnant with Son, people could never remember my due date even though it was Christmas Eve. Although I guess that solution of my thoughts flashing on my forehead would have had obvious drawbacks! I wanted the answer to flash on my forehead in neon lights when I thought it, so I wouldn’t have to answer him yet again. I taught third grade the whole time I was a teacher. It wasn’t like I changed grades every year or anything like that. When I was a teacher before my husband and I were married, his roommate would ask me about once every other week what grade I taught.
