How cute & huggy, a new baby in a buggy! A girl or a boy? Either one is a joy. Well, Gershon, in today's horrible world, it's better not to ask. Let the kid decide, how sick is that???

Pretty sick---but not much different than all these 10 year old queers walking around. J Thompson survey shows that 52% of 13-20 years olds do not consider themselves 100% heterosexual. 52%! … As the world turns, Gershon

I love it when the name is "Apple, Grain, Drake, Lenox, or Cloud." There is NO clue at all then!

What great names -- 'Cloud!' Hahahahaha. How do you address 'Cloud,' anyway? Perhaps, "Hi, there. I'm Moon.'...or some such. LOL.

I love this... wonderfully written. A joy to know... a new baby... wow... a gift from God... Ann

Yes, a gift from God. (The reason we marry --- Shh. Don't breathe a word of that in today's toxic climate --- which badly needs changing). Cheers, Gershon

Gershon, You know, you don't know. So many wonder and I try hard to understand. From my life, your mom tells you how proud she is of her son, and you know. The day your child calls you 'dad' you know. -Richard

Why doesn't Nature wear pants anymore? ---She is always laughing her pants off at the unnatural ways of humans!Thanks for the lead-in to this with your comment, Jenish!Have a great Thursday! :) Gershon

Such a simple and wholesome question. Not that hard...pink or blue ;)

You'd think it would be rather easy, eh?! --- Not today, by golly. The 'finest young minds of our times' can't figure it out! Must be color blind! LOL. Thanks, Gershon

The worlds gone mad, on application forms now it states, male/female/other / I'm confused, what the hell is other. In my book if you've got one your a man, if not you're a woman. Next time I fill a form out I'll tick the other box and see what happens lol. Tom

Careful, Tom. You don't want your you-know-what to fall off just because you checked the 'wrong box!' LOL. Thanks, Gershon

lol...good write...I don't agree with the new baby '"x" on birth certificates, call me old fashion but you are either born male or female except in rare instances when some have both... made me laugh as did John's comment below :)

Gershon Wolf

February 19, 2020 at 8:17 PM

John's comment made me laugh too! … You can check my reply too. We're having fun with this one! :) Gershon

My grandson and his wife had a gender reveal party so I asked them if had to wait till the kid was 25 to decide....

Gershon Wolf

February 19, 2020 at 8:14 PM

Isn't 25 a tad premature to reveal something as important as gender?! LOL. Thanks, John

lol GW and if you ask the name if often gives you no clue to the gender either!:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf

February 19, 2020 at 8:10 PM

Hey, thanks for the hugs and the great observation about gender. Even 'back in the day' names had already gone bonkers. How about 'Moon Unit Zappa,' Frank Zappa's kid? Gender? ---Don't remember. ~ Still male after all these years! :)
