How lucky I am
On the telephone. Magda and Alek in hospital, Adam and I at home…
Magda: You suck!
Me: . . .
Magda: I was talking to Alek.
Me: I thought you might’ve been.
In the hospital, visiting hours. Our obstetrician has just departed…
Me: Damn! I should’ve asked about who I should see about getting a vasectomy.
Magda: I already asked her.
Stay away from my vas deferens!

Sarcastro, were you the one who recast “that really chaps my ass” as “that really snips my vas”?

So “you suck!” was a command, I take it? I yell that at my vaccuum cleaner ALL THE TIME.

I think a dozen kids would be too few for such outstanding parents. The human gene pool needs more like you. Perhaps one child for each letter of the alphabet (Polish, Slovene, or English, your choice)? But in that case you need to re-christen Alek with something starting with a B.

That Magda. She’s always thinking….about you. True Love can be expressed in so many ways, even in affectionate cuts. We, your fellow men, squirm with you in empathy.

Yes, that was my contribution to intelligent discourse during the legendary days of Ft. Stewart.
Although, you sir, are elevating that particular metaphor into an actual invasive bit of surgery.

This picture now makes sense.
Magda has a sly little smile, obviously (from your post of today) knowing that something’s going to be happening to you shortly.
Your face is reflecting an uneasy apprehension evidenced by the standard male raised one brow. You think you know what’s in your immediate future; Magda knows what’s in your immediate future.
Speaking as a guy, as opposed to the pics of Alexsander’s arrival, there’s no need to provide pictures of the next upcoming life change, Mr. Sgazzetti. Your words alone have painted that pic.
Will you be changing your nome de blogue from “Sgazzetti” to “Sgazze” once the river’s been diverted?

I don’t know–I have to disagree with The Esteemed DarkoV on this one. I would love to see those pictures.
