It's a.... smartass!

Dear Burby:

As you are well aware, today is the day we were supposed to find out your sex. This was big for us because it meant we could start buying gender-appropriate onesies, get started on decorating your room, and perhaps even decide on a name other than Burby, Burglet, Burgito/Burgita, or Strong Bad.

But the joke was on us, as you kept your legs tightly crossed and clamped together through the whole ultrasound while we poked around helplessly. I’m sure you thought this was hilarious. You are clearly our child. I think the Doppler even picked up some muffled laughter. Honestly, the smartass in me is fighting the urge to be proud. At least at 19 weeks we know you are the appropriate size and species. And that’s about it.

We love you no matter what and are very happy to see you are thriving and exercising your smartass genes so early on. I believe you may be a prodigy in that regard. But we do urge you to be more of a team player next time, unless you just really like green and yellow.

Love,

Mom and Dad

LMAO I should have expected a baby smartass from you two! LOL That is awesome. Well hopefully next time he/she will be more cooperative! When do you get to try again??

You might want to let her/him know that greens and yellows aren't complimentary to skin tones as white as hers/his will be. Blues and pinks work better....

LOL at Nikki, so true :)

If we are talking smart ass prodigy can I be his/her "manager?" I am thinking along the lines of late night talk show for starters .... then when he/she can write - a "humorous" book complete with tour - we have to jump on this young, cute, smart ass thing - child prodigies only have so long you know. Sound good?
Also - maybe the kid is laughing because he/she knows it has a recessive tan gene from somewhere - it happened for Nikki - really - she has no right to tan the way she does!

Now that is the pits. All that build up for nothing. Can't wait to hear when he/she decides to cooperate!

I see Maria has offered to coach and develop your smartass fetus phenom. Imagine the possibilities...kind of like Einstein nurturing young theoretical physics prodigies.
