Bringing up Baby !

Now, munchkin, by the time you’re computer literate, quite a few things will have changed, so before I get down into any details, let’s get a couple details on paper :
Google is (or was ?) a search engine. It allows(ed) you to look up information. Copainsdavant.com is/was a French website which purpose is to connect people together and find long lost High School friends. Well believe it or not, whilst browsing the web with Google, and looking up your mom’s name, I was literally flabbergasted to find out she’s (was) a member of Copainsdavant. Yep, she sure is and you can/could even see her profile at

Well if that ain’t somethin ? Your mom, an e-freak ?

Hello there munchkin,

Before you come crashing down on us and become a four-legged, out-of-control, high-pitched, high-speed cute little monster, here’s the story of your mom, not mine, not Granny, just your Mom.

And what a Mom she is ! Relax she’s had plenty of time to rehearse her mom job, she’s fully qualified, I can vouch for that. I was her guinea pig for well over 20 years now, and so far I can’t complain.

Anne-Lise, that’s your Mom, was born Dec. 29th 1980, a couple days shy of Christmas. Gee, I’d hate it. So would you : even though parents claim they don’t cheat you on gifts, it can’t be avoided and sure enough, either Christmas or your birthday is shunned upon. So congrats upon your being born in October. Babies have known to been born early or late but never as late as 3 extra months. This is not Britrail by Jove !
This birthday matter aside, your Mom is therefore a Capricorn (from caper goat + cornu horn) and although I could gloat about all her bad sides - and god knows there are quite a few - I’d rather stick to the bright side of her life.
She’s loving, and lovable, and I’m pretty sure you’ll feel snug and comfortable in her arms. Brown eyes, brunette, the cutest nose since Cleopatra. Red-rimmed glasses, our father’s (your grandpa) smile, and a truckload of good humor. She gave up drinking any sort of alcoholic beverage as well as Coke and coffee so that you’d enjoy pregnancy. She’ll be, no doubt, a very dedicated Mom.
However… She’s not into sports unfortunately, neither is your other uncle on this side of the family. So I guess you’ll have to rely on Uncle Jr. to take you out to the ball game… I’ll try to dress in yellow and green as much as your Mom will allow it (I’ll be sneaky). Just so you know, that’s Nantes’ colors, your home and birth town !!
I’ll try to get my hands on some pics of your Mom so you can see what she looks like / looked like when she was younger. In the meantime, dear kin, take care, and see you in a postwhile !
