Your baby is perfeclt happy, He won't need a bath any more, He's a mcukin' about with the angels above, Not lost, but not gone before.

* But it's October.

* "One day we'll look back on all of this and laugh. Or I'll laugh. You'll probably start gripin' again."
* "Your sister would never have even brought this up! Why didn't I marry her?" Haw. Probably not.
