Subject: Response to inappropriate lyrics post..Reba McEntyre

Reba McIntyre's, "I'm A Survivor"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
I was born three months too early,
the doctor gave me thirty days...
The single mom who works two jobs...
Why They're Inappropriate:
This song is ridiculous. If a baby, especially one born over 40 years ago, was born 3 months premature and lived it would be a landmark medical miracle. Plus, the single mom with two jobs would not be able to afford the massive expensives associated with the health care of the underdevelped infant.

Becky, I don't know the song, but it is obvious that she is talking about 3 different people; giving three separate examples of "survivors".

Just came upon this post while searching for some Reba lyrics.  My aunt was born a little over 3 months early about 43 years ago and survived.  It did happen back then.
