A WAY OF DETERMINING WHETHER THE NEXT CHILD WILL BE A BOY
OR A GIRL CAN BE FOUND BY LOOKING AT SOMEONE'S SCALP
AND FINDING THE PLACE WHERE ALL THE HAIR COMES
TOGETHER. IF THIS SPOT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR HEAD,
THEN THE NEXT CHILD WILL PROBABLY BE A BOY. IF THE
SPOT IS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OF THE CENTER OF THE HEAD,
THE NEXT CHILD WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE A GIRL.
