|Time to be a bitch.|

While I was teaching ESL my brother called me and left a message -- my older brother -- the one to whom I have not spoken since June 2002 when he single handedly destroyed my summer as thanks for having lent him $3000. Yeah, that one.

Some uncle somewhere had a baby. I'm glad I was not there to receive the call, as I don't find this happy news. I cannot think of a single relative of mine who I would approve to raise a child right now, given financial factors, responsibility and maturity levels.

Rather than call him back to figure out who had what, I preferred to dig through old buddy lists for my younger brother's screenname and wait for him to come online.

Evidently I'm an uncle now, and it is the brother who called me, the least fit in my estimation to be a father (unless he's changed for the better in the past four years), who now has a baby daughter.

I really hope that he does not expect me to call him back.
