It's A Boy!!

It's a Boy!! the text says.  Later, at home, I inquire after height and weight, only to be met with derision.  "Silly", they say, "they only determined the sex today.  It wasn't born today."
Oh, how I long for the simple days when all babies were a surprise.  Technology is great, but I think it has met it's match when coming up against Mother Nature.  I remember friends who had closets full of pink, only to be presented with a boy.  Catchers mitts are usually of little use to girls, no matter what the father wants.  I hope the infant determined today to be a boy will have it easier when his time comes to be in my place.
