ITS A BOY!!!!!!!!

I won't mind
Sitting by your cradle,
Singing to you softly
Far into the night.
I won't mind
Playing peek-a-boo for hours
To see that look of wonder,
Wonder and delight.
Soon they'll be asking, "Where is Tyler's nose?
Where is Tyler's shoe? Where is Tyler's hat?"
"Clever little boy," they'll say.
"Boomer taught him that."

I won't mind
Reading you a story,
Quacking like a duck,
Chirping like a bird.
I won't mind
When you ask me to repeat it
'Til you can say it with me,
Knowing every word.
You needn't worry if there's chicolate on you hands,
Jelly on your face, porridge on my skirt.
Run to me and I'll be there
To hold you when you hurt.

They'll say, "Auntie Boomer can't say no,"
They'll say, "Auntie Boomer's spoiling you."
They'll say, "Auntie Boomer's wrapped around your finger."
I'll say, "Yes, it's true."

I won't mind
Knowing that your mother
Showers you with kisses,
Bakes your favourite bread.
I won't mind
When I see your father lift you
And swing you to his shoulders
High above my head.
Thay may be busy -- I can take you skating,
I can take you sledding, flying down the hill.
If they won't build a snowman,
Auntie boomer will.

They'll say, "Auntie Boomer holds too tight."
They'll say, "Auntie Boomer can't let go."
They'll say, "Auntie Boomer's really not your aunt anyway."
You'll say, "No, that isn't so."

In my heart
I will keep a secret,
Foolish little secret
Hidden from the rest.
In my dream
You're my own, my very own,
And I blanket you with love
As I hold you to my breast.

Boomer, he's not yours.
Boomer, in his life your part is very small.
But if one day a toy should break,
Or maybe playing patty-cake,
You call me Mama by mistake,
I won't mind at all.

WWN EXCLUSIVE - YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

After 20 years with Mr. Boomerang, Ms. Boomerang has found a new
love. "He's perfect" she gushed "10 fingers, 10 toes, tons of
hair!"
Yes, that's right folks. Today boomerang assumed her surrogatey,
foster grandma duties for the the incredible Tyler.
"I spent the morning speed shopping at Baby Gap and the afternoon
sniffing the perfect little creature."
Despite all of her friends cries of dismay "Your too young to be
a foster grandma" and "It's not fair that you get to be a grandma
when you never had any kids" boomerang replied "Your right and it
isn't fair but I look forward to many many happy years of foster
grandparenting and planning parties at Chuckie Cheese".

Envious Yearnings in the Environs of East York

Sniffing Tyler
Counting Tyler's Toes
Being Tyler's Foster Gramma
Tyler is The One

Is it a soundtrack?
A major motion picture?

It's the sound of a baby-smell loving heart waking and tapping
its owner on the shoulder - gotta tell the Boomerang how lucky
she is.

The lady in black (of course black with lots of texture, cuz
babies luv to touch) is so happy that someone else is gonna get
wee tiny kisses 'n tiny wee sighs 'n teeny tiny weeing!

Tomorrow's banner headline

Boomerang found swooning near baby Tyler with carton of babyGap
clothes at her side. "Can you believe it, I ran out of film.
Never thought it would happen. But it did, and look ..."
