WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY FIRST CHILD I CONTINUALLY HAD
CRAVINGS FOR STRAWBERRIES. I WAS KNOWN TO EAT STRAWBERRIES
MORE THAN 3 TIMES IN A GIVEN DAY. MY MOTHER ONCE TOLD ME TO
STOP THIS HABIT OR MY CHILD WOULD LOOK LIKE A STRAWBERRY.
SHE SAID THAT IN THE OLD COUNTRY (HUNGARY), SUCH THINGS HAD
HAPPENED MANY TIMES. SHE SAID THAT MY CHILD WOULD CARRY WITH
HER, FOREVER, A REMINDER OF MY CRAVING. AS IT GOES, MY FIRST
CHILD WAS BORN WITH A STRAWBERRY SHAPED BIRTHMARK ON HER LEFT
LEG. NOW, SOME 25 YEARS LATER, SHE STILL HAS THE BIRTHMARK.
