A short course in family relations ..

Mujnu has arrived to the delight of everyone ... Dejanari is exhausted but fine ... Goliath is peering into mini Goliath's eyes ... The entire family is around ... a vast array of aunts and uncles ... I suppose it is a blessing that the Asian language distinguishes the types of aunts, uncles & grandparents .. you have Mamu which is your mums brother; Chala, your mums sister; Dada, your dads dad; Nani, your mums mum etc ... So I am now a Poopee, the sister of Mujnu's dad ... which makes Cream a Poopa, the husband of the sister of Mujnu's dad. All very easy ... I'm sure Mujnu will pick this up very quickly!

Waiting for Mujnu

Ok .. the time has come .. Dejanari arrived at the hospital this morning ... we are all eagerly awaiting the birth of the little one ... he has been given a name pending his appearance which means "Romeo" which I suppose makes them Posh & Becks ... For the purposes of the blog therefore I shall call him Mujnu. For those of you who don't know : Laila and Mujnu are the Persian equivalent of Romeo and Juliet, to such a degree that when you whipped Mujnu, marks appeared on Laila's back ... This new baby is going to be so loved, being the first grandchild in both families, that if you smack his bottom, hand prints will appear on at least 100 members of both families!!!

Contraction countdown ...

Waiting for Goliath and Dejanari's kid to arrive is proving quite a task .. the holiday was put on hold ... but still no sign of the little one ... decided to sneak to Disneyland Paris for the weekend ... spend a couple of days cuddling six foot furry animals ... it brings out the child in you ... Hopefully it will bring the child out of Dejanari too!!
