I just saw in the episode comments that Tweedy has a new daughter! Clara Violet Hugo. Congrats, man

She sounds like a beauty!

Yes! Again Congrats! I found the second one to be easier.

Congratulations!

Congratulations Mr. Tweedy.

Based on her name, she already sounds like a writer. I'm sure she'll be smart as a whip.
Well done, sir.

Hey thanks y'all!

Clara Violet and Norah Iris: We tried to think of names that sounded uniqe but not made-up. Pics of Clara are on Norm's Drabblecast forum. If anyone has a Wii, Ican send you adorable Norah and Clara miis.

(I'm actually on my Wii right now, typing with one hand and holding Clara with the other. Jeanna is in bed.)

Congrats!! They grow up quickly.

My baby is 10 already. My oldest is 14, about the same age as my gray hair.

Gray hair? I wish. Mine fell out. (16 y/o & 11 y/o)

2 and 4 y/o's here. So far as long as I have a black sharpee, I'm OK.

Yes, congrats. As I said in the thread, my first, Chloe Sonia, is 1 and 3/365ths today (OK, actually only 1.00821; I always forget leap year). My hair, alas, is a distant memory.

My girls are one week and 19 months. I still have every last one of my hairs. (HA HA!)

I have no children and I lost most my hair by the time I was 20. I guess this all balances out on some level

The kids just aren't old enough to have had a big impact. Hair problems start with the "terrible twos" or the first sizable injury.

Remember daughters are a father's punishment for having mistreated women earlier in his life. I say this as a father of a girl.

Mr. Tweedy · **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2007, 10:38:52 PM

So if I haven't mistreated women, I can expect to have an easy time?

Probably one of those things that only works one way...

gelee · **Reply #14 on:** December 11, 2007, 01:42:47 PM

Trust me, we've all mistreated women. Just ask one

Serioulsy, I have two wonderful daughters of my own. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

Russell Nash · **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2007, 03:11:17 PM

The punishment comes as your girls meet boys/men who think the way you do/did. You have to defend your girls from guys like you.

Mr. Tweedy · **Reply #16 on:** December 11, 2007, 03:14:14 PM

Aha! So you see there are advantages to being a super-prude monogamist.

Although, according my wife, I do mistreat women. Evidently, going to my buddy's house to play Gears of War is a form of mistreatment, as is buying music off iTunes without telling her first.

Fortunately, as the marriage has gone on, the list of what constitutes mistreatment has shrunk considerably. I think she's finally deciding that, considering the range of male behavior, playing video games 'till midnight one day a week really isn't too bad.

You're only thinking of boyfriends. I think my brother ended up with a daughter, because he always had the "hey Toots" attitude. He treats women more as second class citizens.

BTW how many nights a week does she stay out until one in the morning?

Mr. Tweedy · **Reply #19 on:** December 11, 2007, 07:23:54 PM

None, although I try to get her to sometimes. She likes her sleep. :0 She hangs out with some other women pretty regularly, but that's during the day while I'm at work.

Does that work both ways? I'm wondering, because quite a few of my female friends have sons...

I've never looked at the dynamic, but I see me daughter as far more likely to give me a hearrt attack than my son is to give my wife a heart attack.

Heh. I doubt my mother (who had two sons and no daughters) would agree. I've heard my parents say that they would have had a third child if they would have been able to ensure it would be female.
