The call came

At about 2:15 yesterday afternoon. Wife's friend had gone into labour, so daughter's friend would be staying with us last night. I picked up daughter's friend from her grandad's house on my way home. We were about to have tea when wife's friend's husband phoned to say "It's a boy!"

"You've got a baby brother!" we cried to daughter's friend. "I don't want a baby brother!" cried daughter's friend, while our son was in tears because daughter's friend had the Barbie cutlery, which he wanted.

But the night went reasonably well, and I dropped daughter's friend off at her grandad's on the way into work.
