Godmother
This morning, GTB sent an email to his friends announcing that I’m preggo and that all is well so far. We received many congratulatory emails in return, but this one, from our friend Cowbelle, took the cake:
Hi Baby B,
I’m your Aunt E! I’m going to be a really good influence on you. I’ll
be the one who teaches you clever little swear words to say in public
when you’re about 2, teaches you how to drive like an east coaster and
explains what pizza is really supposed to taste like.
I’ll also (girl) introduce you to Ani DiFranco, teach you the
principle of “he’s just not that into you” or (boy) teach you the
many, many virtues of being a NY Yankees fan.
Any questions that might come up about drugs, binge drinking or
“hooking up” as we called it in my day, well, you just come to me.
Because your parents *never* did that stuff.
Looking forward to it,
Cowbelle

The Girl’s response to Auntie E’s email to the Blueberry:
“I’m down with all of your teachings, Auntie E. But I swear to Christ, if you start talking to our kid about the Yankees, you will be exiled from [our] house forever.”

For the love of God, listen to what I have to tell you:
Buy a cradle swing. The kind that go side to side NOT front to back – trust me on this. It will save your life.
Don’t do what we did…give the baby a binkie. He/She will be fine. WhyI was an binkie Nazi, I will never know.
Finally, do not buy infant socks. Complete waste of money. They never stay on.
And Mazol Tov – even though I don’t know you, I kind of feel like I do.
