"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with." - Michael Jackson
A pregnant pause is a momentary stillness laden with significance. It is rich, prolific, provocative, wow. It is a threshold for ideas and can translate into one to one thousand emotions. It welcomes imagination and brims with untold possibilities. Sometimes, it is even pinched with humor. Life's most unforgettable moments are highlighted by pregnant pauses. Now, I gladly share with you mine.

Metamorphosis
It was early morning in our hotel room in Beijing and it was freezing cold.
I was preparing a warm bath for our four year-old son, so I proceeded to remove his pajamas and underwear.
After a few seconds, my son gives a squeal and his already very round eyes got even rounder.
Worried, I asked him what the matter was.
He immediately pointed to his protruding little penis and bluted out: "Look, Mommy! My turtle turned into a giraffe!"
I tried valiantly to keep a straight face, but it was impossible. I almost fell to the floor laughing.
I have never looked at a turtle or giraffe the same way since.
