What's the Name?

Last night, after the baby was down, Gusi, Papi and I had some dinner and a lively conversation.

Me: The Lebanese lady who works at the restaurant where you got yesterday's food congratulated me on having another boy. She also told me that she had a secret recipe for having a girl and she'd give it to me if I wanted it. I told her no thanks.

Papi: The one with the dentures?

Me: She has dentures? Anyway, I told her I just wanted two healthy children and I had boys who are healthy so I'm happy. No need for a girl, we're just fine the way we are.

Papi laughs.

Gusi: What are you talking about?

Me: The Lebanese lady wants to help me have another baby.

Papi: Do you want another baby?

We both look at Gusi.

Gusi: What's their name going to be?

Me: Who's name?

Gusi: The new baby, what's the name?

Me: No Gusi, there's no baby, just you and your brother, that's enough. Mami's done, you two are keeping me busy enough.

Gusi: Mami, what's the new baby's name? Can I hold him?

Ugh. I just hope it's not on his Christmas list for Santa Claus...
