It is my son's birthday on Thursday. In my mind, he should be turning four, but as the island has it's own ideas, it looks like it will be his eighth unless things revert by then.

Well, I think I shall give him some sort of treat in Florida- what would anyone from the time suggest? He's never had a party before, and- he hasn't experienced much that this time has to offer, either.

And of course- anyone that would like to celebrate with us is welcome, especially if you have children.

	It's not something we had in my time. It's a rather wonderful invention, where the ink is already inside the length of the pen, and it flows out most wonderfully without a need for any ink-dipping or- I'll show you one, sometime. All right, then I'll see what I find. A crib, maybe? A pram? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Indeed? I think I've seen those, rather... Only I don't think it would be distinguishable from a regular ink-dipping pen...! I mean, I'm certain that Mrs Tonks - Ted's mum, a Muggle, you know? - well... Anyway's, I don't think she uses a quill to write in the journals we kept back home and yet -- her handwriting was indistinguishable from her son's as far as the strokes of the pen....

[...] Now why should I want a crib for the baby? I mean, having to get up with it, when I could just sleep next to it in the bed...! I swear to Merlin, I'm far too lazy to make any use of a bloody cot for any baby of mine...! Heh!
