According to one of Trevor's pregnancy books, The Fetus has been able to hear and detect light for a couple of weeks now. If you shine a line on my stomach, supposedly The Fetus will turn away from it. This begs the question: WHY? Why would you do that? Obviously, The Fetus does not enjoy having a light shined on it, so why would you go out of your way to piss it off?
I mean, seriously? Am I missing something here?
And why does my sister and husband think this little experiment is worth trying? It isn't like I can feel The Fetus move as it attempts to escape The Great Flashlight Beam Of Annoyance. You only get the benefit of knowing that there is a real possibility that The Fetus might have turned away from you when you shined light on it. Just like you might have just put a spotlight on The Fetus flicking you off in utero.
Not that you would have been able to see that either.
There are no winners in this scenario.
