Like clockwork, I can count on the following conversation when out and about:
1: "Oh, after four boys, you have a girl. You must be suprised!"
2: "What do they think of her?"
To the latter I dutifully reply, "They love her" which is the expected answer and also happens to be the truth. (Secretly, I want to say, "They really think Hamills only come in boy models and want to send her back.")
The conversation then flows into how she'll either be a tomboy or extra girly;
she'll never have a boyfriend because of all her big brothers;
she'll keep the boys in line;
she'll be so spoiled.
Time will tell about all of that - for now it's enough to know she's loved.
what did you do...record our conversations?
ReplyDelete4 boys, then a girl...it's like a cultural phenomenon.
