Red letter days never cease to fill our hearts with joy and real fun. So much so that, hooray, the arrival of my baby brings with her miraculous words of admiration.
But there's a catch. The right thing to say – as it is when it comes to so many aspects of red letter days – is what's appropriate for everyone.
If there's anything more embarrassing than a question "So, when are you going to tie the knot?" in a wedding party, it's the question "When are you two going to have kids?"
The reality is that such questions often pop up while we're supposed to be celebrating. This happened when the friends came to celebrate the birth of my angel. Beads of perspiration glistered over my forehead when my mum, brimming with surprising enthusiasm, asked the second "funny" question. Hmmm. Is this really anyone else's business? That never is.
