Son

Having a son does feel different from having a daughter; sometimes the caveman parts of my brain light up and do a fiery dance of self-satisfaction. When the medic yanked him out, covered in oily ooze, writhing and pissing, my Y chromosome hopped around ecstatically and I had a little cry. But I declined to cut the cord this time. I was surprised at how different it felt.

    Admit it, when you walk past men who have only daughters you straighten up and feel ten foot tall ;)

    I wouldn’t belittle daughters to the father of Baby E, Pete, if I were you.
