My daughter does not resemble the mutant leader of the Martian rebels from Total Recall
Yesterday I was out on my after-work walk with the nipper strapped to my front, windmilling her arms a bit like Saruman in Lord of the Rings when he’s on top of his tower directing snowstorms, when she stopped her usual ra-ra-rahing and switched to a clear and distinct blah blah blah. Blah blah blah, she said as we stood waiting for the lights to change. And in the deli, she stood next to a pair of nattering Polish women and said blah, blah, blah; blah blah.
A couple of weeks ago a trampy old bugger lurched up to us as we waited to cross the six-lane Georgia St, which is like an artery conveying sports utility plasma to and fro the downtown heart of Vancouver and its suburban extremities. ‘Hey’ he grunted. ‘You look like the guy in that Arnie movie. Total Recall.’
‘Doug Quaid?’ I said idiotically.
‘Nah, not Quaid. The guy with the little guy on his belly. The mutant. Kuato.’ And then he ran off. I can see what he means. But my daughter does not resemble the mutant leader of the Martian rebels from Total Recall.

Posted on 31-May-06 at 12:43 am | PermalinkShe is using the ‘cute way’ to get what she wants. I sense a career in politics, or cake manufacture.
Posted on 31-May-06 at 1:47 am | PermalinkShe is VERY lovely.
Posted on 31-May-06 at 5:29 am | PermalinkYeah, it’s official, she’s the cutest thing ever.
Posted on 31-May-06 at 5:55 am | PermalinkPete- be careful with that “ever” word.
Posted on 31-May-06 at 6:22 am | PermalinkShe is also appropriately sized as opposed to my neice who is the same age as baby E. and could only be described as ‘vast’.
Thank you everyone.
bobble: don’t be fooled. If she’s a politician it will be because she knows how to cajole as well as charm.

Posted on 01-Jun-06 at 4:31 pm | PermalinkOf course, before we had a girl I wasn’t going to dress her in pink either. But if she doesn’t have a token flash of pink on her, it’s a fact that everyone will think she’s a boy.
