I had 1 of my neighbors call me up late last week with the news of the birth of his 3rd child, all girls by the way. we have a boy so I'm not sure what it would be like to live in a house full of ladies. he's a brave man that's for sure. Where was i going with this? oh right, I silly or crazy I don't know, sometimes I'll forget when my nieces or nephews or friends kids birthday's are. I never forget where i was When i got the call When they were born, or they were expecting.
Last Week Madame i were in a Drive-Thru Bank Machine in North Whitby (Brooklyn). I was driving so i had Madame answer the cell. I had a feeling What it was i knew she was due to deliver at anytime. So She said oh would you like to talk to him. I was trying to do 3 things at once, I had 4 cars behind me the machine was beeping at me to take the money. the people behind me were honking there horns. (like they wanted me to get going or something) in the back of my head i was thinking hey this is a big deal for him to call me and share his great news. so i decided to take the call to make my congrats. There was a few angry people? yes but when you look at the big picture is it more important to take the call and enjoy the miracle of a person joining us on this earth, or to keep the line going for the bank machine. if you know the answer please let me know?
The other Phone call I can remember is when my oldest niece was born, it was a warm Sunday in June we were out on the patio of the local pub where I used to spend a lot of time but those are other things to write about later. I remember getting the call mid-afternoon, for the rest of the day i was so excited everyone around us had purchased a round or 2 to celebrate her birth.
It is a funny thing to remember the exact place you were when you get those kinds of calls.
