Its a boy!!! No...its a girl?

Yay!! I'm back... I'll talk about where I've been and what I've been doing in a little bit. But first! Is not that Mammy nice chile hasn't done anything stupendous, or cute or funny in the last month you know. Nah is because I like embarassment is why I am finally back. This is finally clear to me.

So on Thursday some bright Mummy at the daycare/preschool decide to send home an invitation for a party on Saturday...steups, suppose I had something to do. Neway so the invitation comes home with Mammy Nice Chile Daddy, now most times I double check eh. Most times, I ask the day care questions after he has told me something, I ask them if they told him about any field trips, any letters, stuff like that nah. Because really, he walks in there to pick up his child and they could tell him the sky falling and he will tell them cool and take his child and leave with no regard for the sky or its status. So he tells me party Saturday, I say for who? Some child name Joel he says. I say *in my head* who the hell is that then I say how old is this Joel. He says 4. I say cool, you will give me the invitation later. Run in the mall, buy a cool little tool set for Joel, with a battery operated power saw, a hammer, some workman's glasses, some 'nails', a screwdriver. A tool set nah.

Great, so party time. We pull up at Pizza Boys, walk in the party some kids start to shout when they see JD so I say 'phew, this must be the right party because I ain't know none ah dese ppl'. So I say ' Go find Joel, give him his present' and another little girl says 'Come, give Jael your present'. Things start to get a little hazy in the room. I start thinking 'This party sure has alot of girls'. I see about 4 little girls pulling another little...girl towards us. I still looking for Joel. Because we have a cute little tool set for Joel remember. Then I see 2 little girls and they keep coming, and I starting to feel sick because one of them is saying 'Jael, come for your present'. And I am still half smiling because Joel must be right behind right? RIGHT? Wronnngggggg!!!!! Its Jael! not Joel! Whyyyy mmmmeeeeeeeee?? Shame. Shame. Shame. So the girl takes her tool set and I follow her, where I meet her mother and explain to her mother that I thought she was a boy and I bought a tool set. Mummy is really gracious, says Jael is a tomboy so she will more than play with it and that I shouldn't worry about it too much. Of course Mammy Nice Chile Daddy is cracking up on the phone, from far the hell away from any kind of embarassment. Steups! Double Steups...

LOOLOLOLOLOL Fabuolus lunchtime humour for me!
Glad you gave the story Jael was one of my list of potential baby names (right after the to do list of 'have a baby'). So now i know there is at least one other Jael besides my unborn child. Well in addition to the one from America's next top model this season!

Yes, I actually liked the name Jael as well but it actually didn't even click that was the child name at the time. She will always be Joel to me :S

RSV wha? And I watched the invitation after myself and like Jael Daddy write them because it sure looked like Joel and I can't make out their last name yet, I really hope Mummy didn't write them ...or reading this blog lol
