I love that my niece is doing so well at college. She's majoring in... Gender and Feminist Theory and the Intersection of Some Such Thing. I don't know... So Aunty Sunshine says, "well honey, just what kind of job can you get with that?" Yeah, that's me, ever practical. I was stumped, I swear. So she says to me, "I'm going to be a doula". I can live with that. And then I look it up in the dictionary, and it brings a chuckle... dou·la (dōō'lə) n. A woman who assists another woman during labor and provides support to her, the infant, and the family after childbirth. [Modern Greek doula, from Greek dialectal doulā, servant-woman, slave.] Who knew? And by the way, I'm not telling her the origin of that word. No fricking way.
