"Monday's Child Is Fair Of Face"

Yes, I know it's Wednesday. But seven years ago today, on a Monday (at about 2:00 ack emma, to be precise), the middle Llama-ette was born. And in her case, Mother Goose got it absolutely spot on. Although I feel slightly conflicted as her father for saying so, this gel has Future Babe stamped all over her - wavy, light brown hair that turns dirty blonde in the summer; enormous, bright-blue eyes; and, perhaps most importantly, a ready smile and an all-around air of sympathetic jollity about her. Indeed, she reminds me intensely of a great many of Plum Wodehouse's heroines, and you can't ask for better than that, what?

Happy Birthday, indeed.

It is perfectly acceptable to say that about your 7 year old child. As she gets older, just start asking yourself, "Do I sound like Jessica Simpson's dad?" and if the answer is yes, then stop. Stop and get help. Otherwise, it's just a proud papa talking.

Many happy returns of the day to the middle llama-ette.

Aw, Steve, what are you trying to say???

My son is NOTHING like me, I promise!

Well, seven does seem to be a good age for arranging the marriage. And with two suitors, let the bidding begin.

Ya know, there's a lot to be said for the idea of arranged marriages....

Happy Birthday.

I'm growing more and more keen on arranged marriages. They worked for centuries...
