So our friend Joe called today to announce that he and his wife, Angela, will welcome a baby boy into the world.
I already knew this, as I am partially psychic when it comes to guessing the gender of my friends babies. I'm 6 for 6!
So all this baby talk brings up an interesting question. Is the phrase, "It's a boy/girl" politically correct? I mean and baby isn't an "it", he or she is a person. Wouldn't it be more PC to say, "He's a boy?" Someone contact Hallmark and get this changed.
Here's another pet peeve. Asking someone what their baby's sex is, seems so unattractive. Asking about a baby's gender, sounds so much more appealing. It would be an uphill battle to get the world to change this bad habit.
Good Luck to Joe who leaves for Iraq on Monday.
