The Curse of the History Major

One can not think of the end of April wihout thinking two words. “Easter Bunny”? No. “Spring Break”? Nope. “Baseball Season”? Not even that. No, the words that should come to mind are these – “Adolph Hitler.”

Yes, Adolph Hitler. Born April 20th, and comitted suicide on April 30th. Now, if Peter is born on his due date, it would at least be the anniversary of Hitler’s death, which is considered by the sane to a good thing, relatively. Personally, I’d like to avoid any date where there’s some Hitler-y connection. So if the April 29th prediction is correct we’ll be ok, I think. If he pops out 10 days early, though, we’ve got problems. Me, I share a birthday with Victor Borge, Victoria Principal, and Mel Gibson. It would be hard for me to tell my boy that he shares his birthday with Mother Angelica, Joey Lawrence, and, y’know… Hitler.
