The Journey Begins - November 2009

Hello my good buddies, it's Baby Smitty again. Now that we're all well acquainted, I thought I would give a little more insight into how I got where I am today. Yes, we all know the story of the birds and the bees, but my journey is a little bit different. OK - here we go.

Time frame - November 2009

So I'm minding my business one day, floating around on a cumulus cloud (they're the best aren't they?! So fluffy and comfortable!) practicing my backstroke - future Olympian that I am - sailing by the pearly gates and saying "what up" to St Peter when my Bwatch starts vibrating. That's like a Swatch you earthlings have excepting it's a B-watch or Birth watch us future babies wear. It signals when it's time to go join our moms and dads. However, mine must have malfunctioned, because, no way should the alarm have gone off.

I float over to see the big man, Father Time, and sure enough, he's eagerly waiting for me. He starts telling me that my flight time has arrived and it's time to get ready for my long journey.

WHOA! Wait a minute! There's no way it's my time! Mom has it all planned out - according to my Bwatch, I'm at least 2 years away from being summoned. Mom has to finish grad school in December 2011, get settled in her new Digital Marketing job and then she'll be ready for me around late 2012 or 2013. That was the plan.....according to Mom.

Well, it seems Dad, had other plans of his own, and apparently Dad scored (no pun intended)!!!!! Round one goes to big Poppa.

With no time to collect anything.....not like I have much personal effects anyway, I hand-in my halo and my wings, return the Bwatch and without any notice I'm hurtling through time and space and heading to Earth.

Next thing I know, I'm....a tadpole. A tadpole? How do I go from being a cute little cherub, to a tadpole?!?!?!?!?!?! I think I'm beginning to understand what the humans mean when they say "life is so unfair"!

Well, that's the first part of the journey. There's more to come but I'm taking a break, lunch is calling....then nap-time.

Talk to you soon!
