My lovely 9 year old GD was told she's going to be a big sister at the weekend .She has wanted a sibling for a long time so she was delighted .One or two problems though ,she wants a wee ginger chinese brother ....Where will we find one of those? The other problem she has ..well not exactly a problem what she said is " granny what about a name ,what if they calL it something like BOB ...how embarassing would it be to tell my friends my wee brother is called BOB ."Shes a laugh a minute but sometimes I wonder how her mind works .I called her dad and told him her thoughts and we've decided that for now we'll call her Bobs Big Sister ...she'll be raging .I smile every time I think about it.It should be a interesting 6 months .lol

Lovely, funny, wee granddaughter you have Paddyann. She'll make a wonderful Bobs big sister, he'll be a lucky lad.

Someone we know, when meeting her new husband called 'Bob' , decided his name was too 'common' (she is a bit of a social climber) so decided he would be called George as this was more fitting!

I am watching Ian McKellen's 'Who do you think you are?' while browsing Gransnet. His Great-great-grandfather, Robert Lowes, was responsible for workers being given the first ever afternoon off from their arduous labours, in Manchester. An excellent Robert to have in the family!

How funny!... don't you just love them... sounds like she'll be a lovely big sister to "Bob"..as long as he/she is Chinese and ginger!..?
Our 9 yr old grandaughter makes us giggle every day.. sad to say she has no siblings, not through anyone's choice.. we discussed with her one day that perhaps she'd have cousins in the not-to-distant future (she already has second cousins but no first) she said "Yes Nanna....but then I'd have to share you wouldn't I?".... ?..bless her.. love her to bits. ?

My 3yr old grandson has a small soft toy horse he loves, and he calls it "Ratty".
