A morning exchange

While waiting to catch the bus to work...out of the blue, a man approaches.

[man] you're going to have a baby girl, aren't you?

[me] ah, yeah

[man] wondering how I knew, huh?

[me] yeah...

[man] I just know these things. I have 2 boys and I knew when my wife was pregnant even before she did!

[me] wow...actually, it seems like every baby I meet these days is a girl. where are all the boys? ... we don't have a name yet

[man] oh, it'll come in your sleep. don't worry

[man] she's going to be a beautiful baby girl

[me] <smiles and is very happy>

By the way, it's 2 months 'til July 2nd...the supposed target date of Gargle's arrival. I like the suspense that she could arrive early or late. Nevertheless, the clock is beginning to tick louder...and I still can't believe she'll be here soon!
