Go, baby Chaos!
| March 31st, 2008So, yesterday, I am sitting with Laxity and Myf at the movies, waiting for Run, Fat Boy, Run! to start, when they repeat their wish (counter to my own, being the perverse auntie-to-be that I am) that their baby not make its showing on April 1st. I was sure at the time that they were jinxing themselves, and I can only assume by Laxity’s text message of a few minutes ago (”It’s showtime!”) that I was right. Personally, I don’t see an April Fool’s Day birthday as being half as bad as a silly name, since most kids won’t know Baby Chaos’ birthday until (s)he is old enough to find his/her own humor in it. Personally, I think it will also be the perfect reason to have a fish theme for the baby who will be our new little Poisson d’Avril. Trust me, Baby Chaos: in times of peer torment, I would have gladly traded taunts of “chris-cross” or “kristin-piston” for the license-via-birthright to be the class clown that you will now have. Laughter can be some of the best medicine, especially when it is cheerfully aimed at oneself.
Tell them congrats from me!
