Currently: Oh yeah, I was mad
before I called him (see this post). I'm kind of annoyed, because I meant to not call for several months to get my point across. I think it would have worked, too, if my silly nephew had decided to wait to be full term. Instead, a genuine family emergency was born (haha) and I made the call.
When I called, all I had in mind was conveying important and soothing information. I didn't think about being angry, because it didn't even occur to me until he brought it up (and then we fought, yada yada). I didn't feel weird about calling, because I had completely forgotten about the fight. Sometimes I'm afraid that I really am a fish (swimming around in its bowl, exclaiming every few minutes, "Look, a castle!"). I guess a nice person could spin it and say this action demonstrates that I am a good, kind human. Me, I choose to be chagrined because I couldn't summon up the will to hold a grudge long enough to be noticed.

So... congratulations? On being an aunt again?
Yes, thanks. Carter arrived on Tuesday, a mite (month!) early, so is still in the hospital. He's doing slowly better, my sister is deliriously happy for never having to be pregnant Ever Again, and the rest of the family is blessedly silent. That's all one can ask for!!!
