The umbilical cord

I remember the wave of horror and disbelief
	which overtook me one day while watching television.
It was not a horror movie.
	It was an interview of a  boy and a girl - children they were.
They had a child of their own and were thrilled by the hyper reality of their new parenting role game.
	The boy had been present at childbirth and was very proud to have cut the umbilical cord himself.
And while telling his story, he suddenly got stuck in his words and began to repeat
	I cut the umbilical cord myself,
I cut the umbilical cord myself
	I cut the umbilical cord myself
