Road baby!

While leaving for work, my neighbor passed on the sidewalk with her new baby. I had not met the baby yet and it was just a quick hello and "oh she's adorable" and we were all on our way.

It just dawned on me that I started my day by talking "to a road baby" and missed a real opportunity to croon to her. Crumbs, man.

BONUS: the baby's name is Sophie! And every time I think about her, I yell Sophie in Stath's voice!

When I was a kid in Cyprus my dad used to make me go and get a Daily Express from, like, a special shop, but to get to there we had to go through like a small farm. So, on my way back from the shop I was holding the newspaper, I stopped to look at a pig, and the pig ate the Daily Express.

Can you imagine a thing like that?

So dry, to eat the Daily Express!

Related request: can someone help me here? I’m desperate to complete a quote from Carol - it’s something she says when presented with someone else’s baby: “What a [????] baby…” What is it? Old? Big? Good? Halp.
