My co-worker out on maternity leave has become the proud mother of a healthy baby boy. As is tradition, the office in boxes were spammed with descriptions, health updates and pictures. One of my co-workers without Internet access came in, saw the plethora of messages, read them and then shouted “yes!”
Me: So, happy for her and her child.
Him: I’m mostly happy for her child.
Me: What do you mean?
Him: The baby’s name is James. That’s a normal name.
Me: So.
Him: Every member of her family is either named after a virtue, prophet or Biblical king name, maybe he’ll be the first one in his family to turn out normal.
