little z's finishing school

i have come to realize that i am a slouch. i do not sit up straight as a rule. i like to recline. i'm also big on leaning. if there's a tabletop on which to rest one or both elbows: ideal.

but z is pushing me to do better, to become a more evolved person...or at least, to have better posture (because of course a straight back is the sign of moral fortitude). z and his or her condo are expanding in such a way that i cannot continue to slouch if i want to breathe. i'm big on breathing.

and hey, a growing fetus beats having to balance a book on my head any day.
