few days later, Mary
Annette had a son. After
that, we all looked at Nonna. Then
we asked. We all looked at Nonna
and said, OK, how about a dress
now? Nonna
abided. She sewed a miniature pink
satin dress and gave it to Mary Anne,
who was pregnant with her second
baby. And the rest was like clockwork.
Mary Anne had a girl. She sent Roseanne
the dress. Roseanne had a girl.
She sent Mary Annette the dress.
Mary Annette had a girl, and then
another girl.
Nonna wasn’t directing this. But everyone
knew where the power originated.
Nonna was batting seven for
seven.
A few years passed. And then Nonna’s
prediction powers reached a
turning point.
Because Mary Annette was the last
one to have a boy and the last one
to have a girl, which means she had
possession of both the pants and the
dress. So when Mary Annette’s sister-in-law
announced that she was
having a baby, it was up to Mary
Annette alone to decide which one
to send. The power to determine
the sex of this woman’s baby was in
Mary Annette’s hands. And
I’m sitting in my family room getting
the pants, getting the dress,
getting the envelope ready with her
address, her name and address, to
send. And then sitting there looking
at these two items, I said, I have
a choice to make. And I don’t know
how many times in and out that envelope
went the dress or the pants,
the dress or the pants, the dress or
the pants.
And I said, I can’t play God. I’m going
to have to let her choose. So I put
the dress and the pants in the envelope,
mailed them to her. I
called Mary Annette’s sister-in-law,
Joanne. She vividly remembers tearing
open the envelope, the pants
falling onto her kitchen counter, the
dress tumbling out right after it. A
couple months later, the doctor told
her she was having twins.
Joanne waited until she delivered
her twins to find out what sex they
were. Though really, she knew all
along.

off, he says, you have a son. And he
handed me the baby. And I was like,
oh my God, my boy. I got my boy.
And then I think they were only born
one minute apart. He immediately
then said, and you have a daughter.
And it was just, of course.
It wasn’t a surprise to me.
