This talk of boys and girls has reminded me of a friend’s mother. She was having her baby at home, as people did back then, with dad kept well out of the picture. All went well and the baby arrived safely.
The midwife leant over the bannister and shouted down to the new father ‘Congratulations, Mr X, you’ve a beautiful baby daughter, now make everyone a cup of tea!’
She then went back to the new mother, who was acting a bit oddly and in moments, she had delivered a second baby! The midwife then returned to the landing and calling down to Mr X, informed him he had a gorgeous baby boy.
Mr X responded with ‘Make your blo*dy mind up, woman, which is it? I’d have thought you’d have known how to tell the difference between the two by now!’ ?
