Never too early to learn
NS March 3rd, 2008
Last night, lying in bed with TNH, his head on my emerging bump (aka The Noble Fetus), talking to it:
TNH: I can’t wait to meet you, baby. You’re going to have a fantastic older sister who will play with you, and a mummy who takes care of you and loves you very much. You probably won’t see me a great deal at first because I’ll be at work a lot and mummy has to feed you. But when you’re a little bit older, we’ll have a great time. We can play football if you’re a boy or sing songs and dance if you’re a girl, and…
Me: Um, you can do both of those things with either sex. A boy can sing songs and dance and a girl can play football too, you know.
TNH, without missing a beat: And you should know that your mummy is a feminist.
Too right, mister. But thanks for making me laugh so hard just before going to sleep.
