Girls Girls Girls

When I told people about the sex of my baby, they usually reply by asking me another question,”How come your tummy is now bigger than your wife’s?

No, sorry, not that. Although it happened a few times. The next thing that people usually ask me is which that I prefer, a baby girl or a baby boy. I usually answer it does not matter. I am totally okay with both, because no matter what the sex is, it’s still going to cry at night, have its diapers changed, and try to put its feet to its mouth all the time. So it rea;;y does not make so much of a difference to me.

But once I answered that, people usually asked me again as if they were not sure that I was happy with the sex. Well, it might be because the way I answered it nonchalantly, or might be because a baby boy was usually more preferable among the Chinese. But not for me actually. I am really really okay with having a baby girl, or a boy (since the result was not 100% sure).
And in this modern world, having a baby girl is also fine as now females are getting more and more dominant (If you don’t believe that, you should see my wife in the kitchen). So you can ask people who only have baby girls whether they are happy with that.
They will say that they are.
Really? … Are they sure? … With baby girl?
