TINY BABY!
by John Walker on Aug.27, 2006, under Photos
Babies are born far too fragile. They shouldn’t arrive until aged 2, and wearing a suit of armour.
So I’m now an uncle. My sister, after nine months of moaning, had her belly ripped asunder and a small parasitic growth removed. William Thomas Lake is a very cute parasitic growth indeed.
Which amusingly makes my parents magicked into grandparents, and thus 20 years older than this morning.
Here’s my newly ancient mother holding my nephew:
Only positive comments (apart from those Kieron thinks are positive) are allowed, or my dad, who reads this and is bigger than you, will get you.

Many congratulations. I am (asuming all goes well) becoming an uncle soon as well.

I here by amend my previous statement to add that that is by far the cutest baby in the whole world. And I’m glad everybody is happy and healthy! And I hope GrandpaBear won’t come kill me!

To all concerned in this joint venture of Baby Making – congratulations!

Heh, you’re an uncle, but your sister’s a mum. Your sister wins!
My sister wins too :(
On the plus side: super cute baby, waa!
Don’t eat it.

Have you asked your sister how she feels about the idea of giving birth to an armoured toddler? If you do, I suggest keeping your dad handy for protection. Congratulations John. He’s adorable, and I’m sure in no time he’ll be trailing along after you at every opportunity, so start thinking now about all the ways you can be a bad influence.

Hooray for babies!

Oh gawd, my blog has become a late 90s chatroom.

Actually, no, as newborns go, he’s pretty nonrepulsive.
(This is the nicest I’ve ever been about anyone’s baby, ever; treasure it.)
Hmm, there seems to be an outbreak of someone congratulating *you*, John. I’m not quite clear why this should be. I imagine, after all, that your role in said delivery was pretty minor. So, congratulations to your sister.

You realise it’s now your task to refer to your father as “grandad” or some variation of that at every possible moment you can.
My father loves that, really.

Congratulations Walker.
See – I’m not always nasty…

Congats John. I’ve been an uncle since I was 15 – it’s jolly good, as you get to have fun with them and then hand them back when they start to whiff.
Having said that, my own’s due in January…

Congratulations!

Spoil the hell out of him and hand him back when he starts to cry. This is the way of the uncle.

THAT is the way of the Grandfather

Thanks kindly people.
And thanks Rammy, for your excessive kindness!

Congratulations, John and sis.

Congratulations. It’s good to see that pink hair doesn’t run in the family!

Hang on, your mum looks like Susannah Constantine side on. That was a compliment, by the way.
