Whltby Free Press, Wedhesday, September 13.199. Page 7 -e.~U Worth repeating My daughter Jennifer called earlier tonight. We exchanged the usual pleasantries. Erin, her sister, had a wonderful start in Grade 6. 1 survived the usual rush cf the firet week of classes. "And I have some news," she said. (Jennifer and Bill got married a year ago. That wedding filled this column at the time.) "Oh, what's that," I replied. "Bill and I are going to have a baby!" "Wow! Congratulations! I mean, when?" "'April 16,," 'The day after your grandfather's Lfrthday," I said. "And your sister's birthday." 'Tii Caai Liz," she said. "So you're going to have a baby," I said. "That's right," she said. A pause. Then, "Boy or girl?' "Yes."e "MTen thàt means," I replied, 'Tm going te be a grandpa." "That's right," she said. "And rm gonnWa' e a mommy. And rve neyer been a mommy before." "Hleck," I said, 'Tve Leen Grandpa Bill for seven years or more now. Three, four, six, times now. So this is more like business as usual, right? It isn't, like, anything to get too excited about." "Right."t "So," I said, I'm not gomng to get too excited, then." "Right," she said. 'Maybe you could write about it in your clumn this week." "Naw. I wouldn't do that. The whole world would think Iwas dorky or something." "There is that." "So, I think not. Maybe later." Then I covered the mouthpiece with my band and I said to the rest of the household: 'Tm going te Le a grandpa! Fm going te Le a grandpa!
