I am viviparous! It means producing live offspring which is what I have done twice. Strangely enough, the day I'm updating this blog (24 March) is the 13th anniversary of my last viviparous experience - which is another way of saying it's my youngest child's 13th birthday today. But I digress...
I have chosen Vicki Malicki as today's winner. Here's her funky meaning for viviparous: Viviparous is what happens to a once vivacious and beautiful woman when she realises that she has grown older, is losing her looks and men don't look at her in quite the same way anymore. Her vivaciousness vapourises, seemingly overnight, and all that is left is an empty shell of a woman. If only she had gone to secratarial school like her mother had wanted her to instead of relying on rich men to keep her in the lifestyle she was accustomed to....

Viviparous is a lively courtship dance performed by colorful long necked birds who entwine their necks in a way that looks like mating snakes.
