i am a bottle of disclosure
One of my co-workers was grilling me this morning about the impending baby--
Do we want a diaper service? What is the name? What sorts of stuff do we have already?I am so in the mode of deferring to the mom-to-be's needs that my reflexive answer is 'Whatever momma wants.'Those of you who have been or been with very-expectant mothers may relate to the "what the mom wants, she gets" stage.
The interrogation goes on...
Now is not the time to break ranks and insert my own "this is the way I think we should do its". I am there to facilitate and be supportive. I am there to do what small things a man can do to ease the coming into the world process.
And the most significant thing I can do to assist is keep my yap shut. :?p
You may have to have been there to appreciate this, but even the things I think I know (world round, orbits sun) I am circumspect about when asked. Because tomorrow may bring a different executive finding. And woe-betide the me who has foolishly asserted otherwise in public.
So, my answers these days sound a lot the kind of stuff you hear on the Russert show.
Said co-worker labeled me a bottle of disclosure. I wonder what that means? :?P

So, where is that baby??
We are mystified too. :-)
Like the rapture-predicters standing outside at “the moment”, we were sure it should have happened by now. For my best guess why not, see-
