SHE: "TOMORROW, I'LL BECOME A MOM," WHILE POINTING AT HER WELL-TONED AND CARED-FOR SIX-PACK ABS.

SHE: Continuing, "tomorrow, i'm going to pick up my little one!"

me: i got goosebumps, similar to when i hear high-frequency voice tones, because i suddenly realized that my friend's family is about to welcome an adopted child.

[After a short conversation]

me: "i'll sew a christening dress for your little one!"

SHE: RESPONDING TO MY OFFER: "THEN TOU NEED TO SEW A CHRISTENING SHIRT FOR THE BOY, BECAUSE IT'S A BOY."

ME: TO WHICH I REPLIED, "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. I ONLY SEW FOR GIRLS."

WELL, WHEN MY FRIEND WAS GONE, I SOLEMNLY SWORE TO MYSELF THAT I WOULD MAKE THE FIRST-EVER HER CASE CHRISTENING SHIRT. SAID - DONE. I FELT THE CALLING - A CALLING TO GET THINGS DONE. WITH GOD'S HELP, IT SURELY COULDN'T BE THAT HARD, RIGHT?

THE ART IS TO DO THINGS IN A WAY THAT THEY GET DONE BEAUTIFULLY.

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY, MY DEAR LITTLE FRIEND!
