For the swarm....
« on: September 28, 2005, 01:44:06 PM »
It's probably time I explicitly stated this.

The Ehlers brood is evolving a new prototype. We're hoping for male this time, but we'll take whatever we get.

Due date is late April. We'll find out more later.

Mommy is sick, but not puking a lot. THis is a change from before. Last three times she was much more functional, but also much less able to keep food down.

Daddy is not patient enough and needs to improve on that front, but at least he didn't hit anyone when a) Sarah (age 4) took the masts off the Pirates ship she was using despite my direct order or b) Elizabeth (age 6) beat him at Pirates by sinking his ship, with the cheers of Sarah to goad her on.

Congrats!

You have managed to surpass many of your fellow TWGers in assuring that your DNA remains in the gene pool.

I was going to say that very thing, but decided it was mean. That's funny.

Congratulations!

I hope that you are ready for many more sleepless nights. For some reason, experience doesn't help with sleeplessness. Or maybe your wife lets you sleep while the baby is crying at 3 am. Obviously, mine doesn't.

O' the joys (and fatigue) of parenthood.

This actually scares me since recently SE was talking about cloning.  I have a feeling this is more sinister then we're being lead to believe.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Is the dowry thing still expected these days? If so, SE might want to start saving around now.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

You will have to be eliminated before you share what you know.

Treasurer Peter Costello urged Australians to “do their patriotic duty” and have more children but it seems they were doing it anyway, just for fun.
