Alright, going to make this brief.
My younger bro just had a baby, his daughter and wife are doing fine after a few minor complications and are now just getting back home. Both my Mom and my SIL’s mother are taking turns spending some time helping out at their house in taking care of the little one. My bro has gone back to work while his wife is getting adjusted to the change. I myself will be dropping by to see my new niece. She is the first child in Omnipitron’s family and my Mother is indeed gushing over her like you wouldn’t believe!!!
Here is where the Irony starts.
My mother is an accomplished Nurse, and had been for over 30 years. She had studied in Jamaica and Europe before finally passing the necessary exams in order to practice nursing in North America. Do you think she often mentions her amazing credentials in Nursing (and they are quite something!!) on a regular basis?
Nien.
Do you think she often mentions her studies abroad in Jamaica and Europe and the amazing adventures she had during that time?
Nyet.
She will mention the parties she holds with her batch mates from University College where she attended school before departing Jamaica and going to Europe, but that is more of a reunion than anything else. No my friends, the biggest thing my mother is proud of at the moment is that fact that her two sons are married, and her youngest has just become a father, making her a GRANDMOTHER. THAT is what she is the MOST proud of in her life.
Feminists take heed, if you believe that your legacy is rooted in professional accolades, then I have a bridge to sell you. Don’t believe me, just ask your older sisters about the situation, and they will be happy to tell you how things are.
Omnipitron
*Sigh* Now if only you could convince girls of this before they turned 30...
ReplyDeleteBut that's a Grandmother's job; our Grandmother's were as absent for our sisters, as our Fathers were for us.
Congratulations, Omnipitron; I trust you'll do a good job by your niece.
It's nice of you to warn feminists, but remember, "Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain."
ReplyDeleteRead that as the titles in an Asimov book. I don't know if he quoted something or made that line himself. It does help me understand human nature better.
Thanks Aurini, I intend to do a bang up job as an uncle. Both of you are bang on in terms of warning feminists, anything out of a man's mouth has been preempted by their programing so men have lost the argument before it even began.
