The Constant Chatter Five

“Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me”, I wonder will I be able to sing when I grow up? In case you haven’t guess it, this is my first birthday and mommy is having a party for me. It’s Oct.22th and that means I was born on the cusp, Libra is ending and Scorpio is beginning, I’m really Libra though but I might also have a little bit of Scorpio in me, so I guess I’m stuck with having to read two horoscopes. Nay – don’t think I’ll bother with that at all, leave it to the superstitious and that’s something I’ve already decided I’m not going to be. Why should it matter if a black cat crosses my path on Friday the thirteenth ? Mommy’s got me all dressed for my party, then left me here in my playpen, where she thinks I can’t get too dirty. I hope she remembers to change my pamper though, I can’t possibly greets my guests in this state! I know that Cherrie is coming-that’s my girlfriend, I finally found out her name- and I saw mommy write it on one of the invitations. The other boys better keep their eyes of her too – or they’ll have me to deal with. I’ve heard that I’m supposed to have a best friend among the boys as well, and they say we go through a period when we won’t like girls – ha- not likely for this dude! Come on Mommy, change my pamper, it smells awful – I told you not to feed me peas and carrots, they’re gross-even before I eat them.

Man, what a party that was! Everyone here had a bottle and there was lots to eat, even stuff for all the mommies and look at all the presents I got! I wonder what Cherrie got for me? You can tell a lot about a girl by the kind of present she buys for that special someone, and I just know that’s me, it has to be-we’re soul mates-we were meant for each other. Are we going to open the presents yet mommy? Are we? Are we? Yaa we are, we are – oh boy oh boy oh boy! Grandma and Grandpa gave me a box of pampers – grandparents are always practical. Here’s a ball and a rubber ducky, a turtle and a book that they think I can’t tear apart ha! What’s this that Cherrie gave me – underwear – ? Wow! She wants her man to start growing up fast. Guess mommy will have to get that pee pot she’s been talking about – I’ll show Cherrie what a real he-man I am! No more pampers for me – but it will take awhile of course, and then there’s always night time, hmm guess grandparents are pretty smart too. Mom bought some presents too, that way all the kids had a present to take home – I think that’s such a cool idea. My daddy wasn’t here for my party but he’ll be home in five more sleeps and I know that he’ll have a present for me too. Daddy says that we’re going to have lots of fun in the snow when winter comes, I can’t remember much about snow, I think I must have slept through most of it last winter. Oh I can’t wait for daddy to get home! I think Cherrie has a birthday soon, I wonder what I should get her – certainly not underwear, girls are far too modest for that sort of thing! Oh well one thing about a woman – you can never go wrong with jewellery!
