    Just thought I'd tell y'all. Woe betide the kid for getting me as her uncle, but that's life I guess.

    I was an uncle when I was 10. Of course the kids in primary school just said I was "un-cool", the bastards.

    Congratulation DE for becoming an uncle of a healthy girl. Alas, I will never be an uncle, because I have not got any brothers or sisters. Oh well. You can not always get what you want.

    Edit: I do have got good news. My youngest nephew is going to marry and other niece is going to be a mother for the first time.

    Erm, you may want to look up the definition of niece and nephew Arthgon. You're probably shooting for cousin, as I always do at weddings when I'm drunk.

    Ah. Yes. You are right. It is cousin, indeed. I somehow mixed them up sometimes. She married last week.

    Being an uncle is pretty cool. Well, until you realize your sibling's kids look just like you and you wonder just how much their spouse's DNA matters.

    Being an uncle is so awesome. Nieces and nephews are the most blatant reminder of the passage of time. The self changes so slowly, but you can observe a niece or nephew grow and suddenly you feel the decades as they have slipped passed.

    Too bad my brother-in-law isn't an alcoholic Maori muscleman.

    Well, I guess there's still time to change two out of three.

    I might not be an uncle, but I am however a Godfather :)

    Also: Congrats, DE!

    I was expecting comments saying something like: "You poor, poor thing" or "Good luck avoiding the baby".
    I guess I'm the only one who sees babies as they actually are: crying, drooling, attention seeking, hair grabbing clingers.
    Oh well, congratulations DE..

    It's not as bad when you're not raising the kid. Also, that's how babies grow up - you can't fault them for being like that if that's how they had to act to get the protection they need to no longer be defenseless infants.

    Fret not, Mr Ponies, for you are not the only one who sees.

    Nevertheless, my congratulations to you, sir Elf. I trust you will acquaint the young lady with the way of the monocle when the time comes.

    If you want to be disgusted with anything, blame evolution. The whole reason babies are mewling snot bubbles is because they can't fully develop in the womb. If they did, they would never fit out of the vagina.
