Like almost all girls I don't know the date of my birth: my parents did not trouble to record the day and the time. I only know the year and the season, and I only know the season because my mother had a great desire for asparagus when she was carrying me and swears that she ate it too green and her bellyache brought on my birth. Philippa Gregory
About This Quote

I'll go back to my childhood. The only thing I know about my birthday is that it was spring and lovely weather. I was born in a small village and, although I don't remember it exactly, I think the date of my birth was somewhere in May. My mother swore that she ate asparagus while pregnant with me and that this caused my birth.
