what does this phrase mean: to celebrate girth of the child?

Answer 1

Are you sure that "g" wasn't supposed to be a "b" -- to celebrate birth of the child?? If not, then what is being celebrated is the child's size.

Answer 2

I think there was some error in that phrase. Whoever typed that used a QWERTY keyboard (the usual keyboard we use where the letters q w e r t & y sit in a row).

In QWERTY setup, the letter b is just below g. So, it should read as to celebrate the birth of the child. In what country do you celebrate the size? ;P

Now, someone needs my glasses. lol
