I helped bring a new life into the world today. I actually assisted in delivering a baby. Oh wow! I take it this wasn't an intended part of the day's schedule? That must be really mind-blowing, to be one of the first to see a new little person arrive.
And there are certainly worse names than Penny. Believe me. My dad was intent on calling me Beryl. He actually went off to register me as such, then decided against it while he was there but forgot for the first few days after to tell my mum that he'd actually registered me with the name Mum had really wanted. I maintain that's why I'm as confused as I am - being wrongly called Beryl for three days at the start of life would do that to anyone.
