Ways To Celebrate Your Nephew's Birth

Tell a client over the phone and get a small note from the Nicest Coworker Ever which reads "Congratulations Tío Dean"

Insert it casually into conversations, regardless of the topic

Teach the Past Perfect Continuous

Pause on the fourth floor, while walking down to class, for a moment of amazement

When someone congratulates you, continually say "I didn't do anything!" in mock confusion

Dream about the nephew in question as a three-year-old who you speak Spanish to

Frantically search for someone's cellphone to call the hospital in America and then, when all hope is lost and only through a magical act of God, remember the number

Wish you were gathered with family members, staring through the glass in wonder

Laugh when your Father tells you, in a disappointed tone, that the baby has your sister's nose

Look at the pictures and concur with your Father
