Baby Lowe Speaks - Between Meals

By Sono Grahm

Sono: Hey Emma - Thanks again for having me back. Before we get into the interview, I've just gotta say you're growing at what seems to be an exponential rate. I mean, not to hurt your feelings or anything - and I think we're good enough friends that I can be honest, but you're HUGE!?!?! What's the deal?

Emma: Wow... Nice to see you also Sono - you skinny punk. Keep those comments up and I'm gonna eat you. But to respond to your extraordinarily discourteous observations, yes I've grown. And yes, a little more than most at this point in gestation. I'm in the 78th percentile for weight. Sure, some poke fun at me but my parental units just say I'm "advanced." Just more of me to love I guess...

Sono: My apologies Em, I'm not sure where that came from... So, let's get some updates. What been going on here at Casa de Emma?

Emma: Well, a lot has transpired since we last spoke. My Steelers came through, which was awesome. As if there was ever any doubt. Ahhh, lets see... I've grown some fingernails and I'm getting lots of my immune system components from my Mom. So I've got that going for me - which is nice.

Sono: That's great to hear... I ahhh...well...ummm.

Baby Lowe: Geezz Sono, enough with the staring. I'm ADVANCED, OK?!?!?

Sono: Sorry kiddo. My fault. So, when do you expect to make your big entrance into the real world?

Baby Lowe: Not quite sure yet. April 10th is slated as the big day, but as I've stated a few times in the last 5 minutes - I'm a bit advanced, so who knows, maybe I'll surprise everyone and arrive a few days early. I enjoy the suspense, don't you?

Sono: Suspense huh? Looks to me you like your suspense topped with ice cream and chocolate syrup ;-) Just jokes...

Emma: Ha Ha. Keep laughing funny man. You're lucky I'm tethered to this placenta or I'd run you right out of here...

Sono: Ya know, I'm sorry Em. You've been nothing but nice to me. I'm sure everything will even out over time. So let me wish you luck over the few remaining weeks. Please know we're all eagerly awaiting your arrival.

Emma: No problem Sono - I understand you're just kidding. Besides, I don't put a lot of weight into the opinions of a reporter whose only assignment is interviewing a fetus. Do they give Journalism Awards for this sort of thing ;-) Ha!! Anyway, just tell my future friends and family that I can't wait to meet them!!!

Sono: One more thing - you know your Old Man wouldn't think the interview was complete unless I ask for your opinion regarding Pitt's chances in the Madness of March?

Emma: Of course - I was hoping you'd ask. Pitt's got a nice team this year - playing far above what was expected of them. If Gray would look less like a 7ft Pillsbury Dough Boy and pack on some muscle, he'd be a force in the paint. And my boy Krauser - I love the trademark "X" with the 3s and the foul shots, but he needs to be a bit more consistent. What they do have going for them is their depth. I mean how many teams out there have their bench scoring 20 points a game? That's what's going to be their biggest asset in the tourney - they won't be as fatigued as their opponents. But hey, I'm a realist Sono - this team isn't going to the Final 4, but 16 sure would be SWEET!! Anyway, gotta go eat... I mean do the dishes. Talk to you again soon!
