Olivia Newton asked this question about Her Body and Other Parties: Stories:
Why does the husband seem surprised that his wife's head falls off her neck when he finally unties the ribbon? Didn't he joke with his wife when she was pregnant that if they had a daughter if she would come with a green ribbon? And didn't he sort of had a conversation about stitching with the doctor when the wife was in labor? Is the husband completely clueless about women's bodies or did he want to untie the ribbon?
