In reply to the discussion: You know what? Fuck royalty [View all]calimary
(81,240 posts)104. Good way to describe it. I felt it was like a little coffee break in the middle of a hard, intense
work day. I'm happy for them too, all american girl. For heaven's sake, the news lately has been so grim! This is nice. It's such a welcome little break. She had the baby. Mother and child doing well. New dad relieved and happy. That's NICE. That's a very human, universal thing. All the citizenry I saw in the coverage were smiling and celebrating - and sharing in the excitement. I don't think it's silly to want to be happy for, and with, them.
