"I cried when Prince was born. He came out with this really big head, and when I saw his head, I thought of my grandfather and my brother, Randy, 'cause his head was shaped just like theirs. And I said, 'Oh my God, ' *laughs*. And then, the rest, they let me pull him out and I cut the umbilical cord with scissors that were shaped like a stork, and...and they cleaned him off and everything, and I was ready to take him home. They said, 'No, you can't take him home,' , I said, 'Why?', 'I think there's some serious problem,', I go, 'What?', 'We've gotta take him to intensive care, he's not breathing correctly,', I go, 'Oh no!...' I said, 'Please, God, don't let me have a sick child, please...' So, I waited an hour... two hours... three hours... four hours, I was so scared... After five hours, this nurse comes in, she goes, 'Okay, you can go home now.' I was so happy!"
