Are we friends? I like to think so. And it is because we are friends I must come clean. I have been perpetrating a lie for the past nine months. 

We learned that we were pregnant on Christmas morning and we learned he was a boy on 4/20, Hitler’s Birthday; this much is true. But his due date was not 9/11. It was 9/5, but for comedic effect (and the disdain of my wife) I have been lying and saying his due date was 9/11. I don’t know if it was really a lie because from the beginning I felt it to be true. I felt if there was a comedy god he would have to see humor in the aligning of these three dates to create the next SUPER BABY. 

Thanks, lady. You’re the best.
