Sperm Dress

The seller called 'em polkadots."When I got the dress, my eyes about popped out of my head. These were NOT creamy white polkadots. My mind raced. This was a novelty print, yes, but not of balloons or cheerfully wriggling tadpoles. There's no way…could it be!?

Sorry to continue a derail....but wrt "literally" -- next time there is a natural disaster, especially an earthquake, tune in to the news and you will hear over and over, "The highway [bridge, overpass, house, old lady] literally collapsed."
