Girls, girls, girls
Have you noticed lately that everyone who has a baby, has a girl?
I know that I am not alone in observing this. No less a luminary than Michael Moore (I mean the "less" to refer to girth here, I'm trying to be funny but it isn't coming across) noted it in the introduction to one of his books, probably "Stupid White Men."
I've also read that there are something like 51% girls and 49% boys being born these days, something about women waiting until they are older to have babies, plus fertility treatments--apparently girl sperms are hardier and more likely to survive fertility stuff. Because girls are the stronger sex, as anyone who has ever spent a weekend with a man with a cold knows.
Girls are very vogue. Have you noticed that the current president, the current president elect, and the previous president all had daughters? George H.W. Bush had sons, of course. Unfortunately, some might say. But then he had sons back in the day when sons were cool. Now it's all about girls. Boys are passe.
Oh sure, once in a while someone must have a baby boy, but it's often amidst a whole mess of sisters--like Rachel's Girl Scout leader who has one son and three daughters.
Matt and I: three daughters.
My sister: one daughter.
Matt's friend Mark: one daughter.
Matt S. family: two daughters.
The family across the street: two daughters.
I'm not sure exactly who these girls are going to date. It's going to be like the old Jan and Dean song come to life, "Two girls for every boy."
Which is a long winded way of saying congratulations, Mateo and Mary, you're probably having a girl. "Marisol" is cute, isn't it?
