Sarah continued on rubbing the newborn. Yet Mo's reply stopped the rubbing abruptly
[QUOTE=Cassirin;11391256]"
No, frankly. No to both of those girls, one of which was a Ravenclaw and knew better. Mo gave both Bee and Sarah a flat look before turning back to his turn at cow rubbing. "That's stupid, actually, and you should know better than to be so imprecise. If a miracle is by definition a highly improbable or extraordinary event, then you're wrong. So either I'm unclear on the word, which I'm
not, or you're all using the word wrong. Which you are. It's easy to fix. Find a more precise word."[/QUOTE]
"well, the very fact that all our organs work is a miracle. It is just that we take it for granted. Childbirth is dangerous, as I said before, especially in the old days, not every birth was live. A lot of woman these days miscarry once in their lifetime. Imagine, the baby''s first breath, it is born with a heart that is pumping, hopefully there are no deformities.". In Sarah's world there was no chance, only miracles. If he was not a boy she would have gone further yet she stopped at that.

"I'm thrilled you got to experience the birth of a precious baby creature, and although it wasn't the lesson I originally had in mind, there's always a second chance."
Sarah turned her attention back to the calf, boys these days. Thankfully the cow was a girl. She kept on rubbing the calf, then alook at her watch revealed that she was dallying and had to move on.

She was disposing her gloves when she heard the groundskeepers offer. "GOODIE!" she called. She packed up her things.
"thanks for the lesson!" she called over her shoulder as she walked off. Hopefully she was able to talk some sense into Mo, poor misguided fellow, counting her blessings kept Sarah happy
