a dear mate just emailed me news of the birth of her first grand-bairn.
in new zealand. my reply included the followin bit's:
"welcome to planet earth, wee lassie!"
when it comes to babies, i just don't know what to ask or talk about, unlike the average wee island bird [especially so em ethnic chink] who'd make all those cooing noises; goin all apeshite at the mere sight of a baby. makes me wonder if they are just puttin on an act just to impress em bloke's.
one could tell from the bairn's reaction. just imagine what they are thinkin.
not that i have an aversion towards em wee youngling's. i'd just wave my hand and grin at em. the furthest i'd go is carryin em, goin, "where's yer mummy? over there!!!" - the standard [daftest] wee island baby-talk i hasten to add.
yet i won't hesitate to spend hour's playin with a cat or a dog. hmm...
