Ah yes, the legend of my birth.
My dad was a happy drunk - he'd quit his job the week before I was born and hadn't been seen since. He'd been on a bender, and somebody must have told him he was a father, because he came into the ward, reeling, reeking of relatively cheap and borrowed beer, swinging - and I kid you not - swinging a plastic grocery bag full of loose sherry trifle over his head, and singing the Indian Love Call, as immortlized by Slim Whitman.
So technically my father's first words on first seeing me were "When I'm calling you-oo-oo-ooo, oo-oo-ooooooooo".
My mother, I'm relatively reliably informed, thought I had died during a problematic Caesarean and that they'd brought her someone else's baby (Omen syndrome, anyone?). So her first words after I was born were "No! No! NOOOO!!!! My baby's DEAD!!!". She later mellowed a little, called her mom and presented me to her with the firm invocation: "There's your grandson. Make the most of him, because you're never getting another one out of me!"
This is what happens when drunks and neurotics marry. We called it "Life" in the 70s :o)

I simply have no idea. I was delivered during bomb attacks and my dad came home on leave to find his wife gone. He found her in the hospital.
I suppose for sure they smiled.

MY FATHER WAS DRUNK WITH HIS FRIENDS IN A BASEMENT WITH HUNDREDS OF BOTTLES OF WINE, SO HIS WORDS ARE A MYSTERY. MY MOTHER SAID "SO HERE YOU ARE, YOU LITTLE BIHATCH!! DID YOU ENJOY KICKING ME IN THE RIBS THE LAST 4 MONTHS? NOW IT'S MY TURN!!!!":)))
OR "OOPS! I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THE DRUGS WHILE PREGNANT"
