Susan didn't mention it, so I shall:
Annabel's first cousin on her father's side will be a girl.
How are we referring to my SiL on this group, BTW?
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I don't think I've referred to her enough to come up with a nickname like I have for my brothers. Call her whatever you think is appropriate for a public forum--e.g. I'm pretty sure D. would be amused rather than not to know he's known to a few thousand strangers on the internet as my Very Conservative Oldest Brother.

That depends. Do we like her?
(Total joke. Joke joke. Much of a jokeness.)

Very Conservative Oldest Brother.
VCOB it is. Is she very conservative too?

VCOB was just used as an example--he's my brother. The pregnant SIL is married to the older of Dylan's two younger brothers.
She's basically the opposite of me. Sort of super-girly. She was appalled, seriously, that we got Annabel a sports mobile for her crib--a cute one with teddy bears holding footballs, baseballs, etc.

And, yes, I know the odds are very high that ten years from now Annabel and her cousin will be sitting around at family reunions complaining about their mothers, because Annabel will be sick of having a tomboy-geek mother, and her cousin will be equally tired of having a hyper-feminine mother, Southern style.

Annabel's GirlyAunt it is! Also, yay for cousins, Annabel! Let the bossing commence.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think you should denote her in the Madrigalian nomenclature: Bitey Sis, Baudelaire Sis, Biggy Sis.
So she can be Girly SiL.

Women like that puzzle me, Susan, and that is without your knowledge of firearms. That is why I saw in Kay Howard a sister, though. Even if her hair is perfect...it's just sort of naturally perfect though. I can't feature her buying volumizer and this and that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Cass calls those "medical peas".Medicinal peas. Sheesh, it's like you weren't paying attention at all...
