So, the other day, I notice on the caller ID that my friend Troll called. No message, just the number. I think it odd, but realize maybe her cell speed dial got pressed or something. but, the next day, there it was again. Right then, I knew she was having a baby. She wouldn’t call me and not leave a message unless she was calling to give me news.
We played some phone tag. She just got a hold of me, and she gave me the news. I told her I was waiting for her to tell me. In fact, I debated leaving her a message saying, you’re having a baby aren’t you? But, I thought that would steal her thunder. So, I waited patiently for confirmation. Sure enough, a little bun is baking.
Yay! It was determined that I would be the “cool, cultural” auntie. This just means I get to sneak her kids off to all the crazy places, and get them all sugared up before dropping them off.
Surprisingly, she didn’t take me up on my offer to babysit. Hmmm.
