yesthattomI went to Infant Care Class today with Yang and Ping (co-words for one of my SOs (Yang) and her housemate/partner/tocotox (Pang) who will be raising this child together).
I learned a lot. Nobody asked us why there were 3 people taking the class together (everyone else was there as a pair, except one single woman).
When it came time for each mother to introduce themselves and their partner, it dawned on me that we'd never discussed how we'd expain, or not explain things. When it was Yang's turn, she just said, "I'm (Yang's real name) and this is (Pang's real name) and (YesThatTom's real name."
Nobody blinked and the class continued.

Date: 2003-01-09 04:17 am (UTC)When K. went to give birth to O., accompanied by M. and me, the midwife said "So this is Dad, and...and you are...."
"It's a long story..."
"Whatever"
My ex-girlfriend had to have a C-section (we were together at that time), so the midwife had her transferred to a hospital. At one point, the anesthestiologist (in purple scrubs) says, "OK, we have the husband, the wife's girlfriend , the wife's ex-girlfriend, and the husband's boyfriend...how festive!"
I think he got it :-)
