Oh, so these are not the type of parents who bedeck their little girl (if it is a girl) with pink, ruffles, delicate lace trims, and one of those hairbands whose sole purpose is to announce: "This child has XX chromosomes."
(No slight intended to any parents who have had a long run of boys *coughPhlex&TGcough* and when a daughter comes along, they want to celebrate having a little bit of extra girliness in the house.
)
Sounds I'm hearing: heavy rain outside, cat's bell jingling as she washes herself, fridge humming, boys playing video game upstairs.
