Telling my sisters


My sisters were predictably overjoyed for us when we gave them the Big News. Tears, excitement and shopping plans all figured high in a whirlwind of hugs and astonished looks.

Come to think of it, the opportunity to shop (OTS?) was probably the centre of their conversations, punctuated only by questions around date and how to the handle the boy/girl uncertainty.

The partners were great: proper bloke-type comments ("Sort out your fishing dates in advance," "Get the shed sorted now, you won't have time later") all much appreciated.

According to them, there is really very little to do right now: provide food, carry things, ignore outbursts and get in as many boys nights out as possible.

And one more thing they recommend: go with the flow and say Yes to everything.
