A couple more of the wives' tales ...

If you cry during the birth of your child, it will damage your vision.
Your joints get out of whack all over your body when you give birth, so you have to stay warm so they will mold back into place.
Another thing about our little yoda -- can I call our baby that? -- is that in Korea, instead of giving out cigars, you are supposed to offer out dok (pronounced duk). Basically, it's rice that is slightly sweetened. And no, it's not very good.

I bought $70 worth of dok for the office, so people could have giant slices, about half the size of a brick. I'll take the cigar.

That's 'cause you're not Korean. :-) Dok is very tasty!
