Them old wives tales...

Spin little ring, spin. Suspended from a thin string, the ritual performed at night within a circle of matrons. Round 'n round, close to the tummy, the girls closely huddled, squinting and laughing along with the mummy. It spins first one way, then the other. The ring never lies. The wedding band the truer test for the closer to the heart, the closer to the truth. Its a girl! But this turning was wrongly read. Its a boy! No really, its a boy! I have broken from the family's triptych tradition... Just past noon, our new babe rests with eyes wide open 'cross his mother's bosom. The family coos and clucks, but none the prouder than this dad for his wife.
