I have been waiting for this day for an awfully long time. I've been trying to get this young lady to join the BHO since it began, but until now, to no avail. But, I'm nothing if not persistent so it seems I've got my way (I normally do).
What can I say about this funny looking duck? Well, first of all she's my daughter, my second oldest to be precise. Ever since she was born I knew she was cut from the same cloth as her daddy. For as long as I can remember she has been a keen student of sarcasm and a master of the art of things you really shouldn't say just because you think it might get a laugh. Also, much like her dad, she's a bit mental. Not mental in the tin foil hat and people are listening sense. More in the sense that she has to turn the light switch on and off four hundred times or her family will die sense. But that's okay, we all have our quirks.
Isabelle grew up feeling like she had something to prove. And she did. She proved that she was a council estate lass right down to the bone and got knocked up quite young. Not only did she get knocked up young but she did it with a fella that is ginger and therefore has tangerines for testicles. But that's okay, we all have our quirks. She gave birth to a beautiful little girl and my first grandchild, Ava. She is just a little dot but she has already got a far more superior cognitive ability than her father has managed to accrue in over two decades. He's a little bit dim.
She has become a brilliant young lady and fantastic mother, if slightly clingy. But that's okay, we all have our quirks. But either way she makes me a very proud dad. It has to be said I did have my concerns though. You see, Isabelle has a bit of a track record when it comes to small living things. She had mice. Died early. Hamsters. Died early. Rats. Got rid of them. Tortoise. Got rid of it. Cat. Got rid of it. So it wouldn't have surprised me if I was perusing ebay one day and saw an ad that read "Baby for sale. One previous owner." But I'm not too big to admit when I'm wrong, and I was spectacularly wrong. Which makes me happy. So more power to you, Isabelle.
When it comes to the dark arts of Yahtzee, Isabelle is a total newbie. But no matter. I will take this wastling under my wing and teach her the way of the dice, and who knows, perhaps she can make a name for herself in the upcoming BHO End of Year Knockout Tournament. Everyone has to start somewhere. She is a fast learner and will pick it up quickly. After all, she found out how to get pregnant in about 16 milliseconds didn't she?
Anyhoo, Isabelle, it's great to have you on board. I think it will do you good. Frankly, anything that will keep your mind off procreating and keep your knees together for just a little while longer can only be a good thing.
Love you Isabelle,
Get ready to roll!
