I'm confused too, I've not a clue, could be a hampster, a nubian goat,
even a pot bellied pig... the OP never gives the slightest hint... I
just assumed a pet, because I have pets... and wouldn't a normal parent
have refered to Amira as their child if that were the case... for all I
know Amira is an appropriate name for a pet tarantula. Many folks here
refer to their pets by name all the time without ever mentioning what
type (ie. Dog3 does that all the time, as does Jill, Sheryl, and Damsel
[hey, was years before I learned Crash wasn't a poodle - hehe], so do
I), but I don't remember anyone refering to their child without writing
"My son/daughter so n' so..." fill in the name, (I mean like it can
only be one or the other - son/daughter but 'child' will suffice), as
if we live with these pinheads in the same household. I don't know why
some are so audacious as to presume we're so intimately involved with
their personal lives (or want to be)in a food/cooking group... not like
this is
<family-schizophrenia.discuss.alt>. And if anyone chooses to post
personal business in public don't whine if it comes back to haunt.
