These Lying Eyes

I drove by a store called "Baby and Horse Boutique." I was driving quickly, and I left my neck above half arching back for a better look at the store-front. Babies and horses? That's ridiculous, I said; then I pulled my head back around and drove away.

Upon inspection, these old eyes they fool me: 'Body and Home Boutique' is the actual name of the store. That makes more sense, I said, pulling the reigns back, and Rusty and I trotted off.

Snap Back, With Grace

According to What To Expect When You're Expecting:
"Doing your Kegels faithfully during pregnancy will help your vagina snap back more gracefully after your baby's grand exit."

The choice of the adverb "gracefully" and phrasal verb "snap back" makes for an awkward sentence. Actually, any sentence that features a vagina snapping back is an awkward one. Mix in "faithfully" and the baby exiting the body in a grand manner and you have a giggle worthy statement.

But, it begs, does the vagina return to form gracefully or is the vagina graceful in its returned form?

Grace was cursed with a graceless vagina.

Amazing childbirth: That soon after its violent expansion the vagina recoils with grace.

I hope that when the boy makes his grand exit he doesn't leave Mom with a less graceful vagina.
