User Release 2.0 "Rune Behrends"

August 29, 2017 3:07 PM

A little bit of a bright spot in dark days: Mefites Twain Device and The Juche Idea welcomed their second child at 9 a.m. yesterday morning.

Rune Behrends comes with lots of hair, chubby cheeks, and one very excited big brother. Mom and baby Rune are happy and healthy and resting up. Congrats to all!

I am of course over the moon about another cute baby in the world, but more than that, it gives me heart and hope to see two such excellent humans bringing other, smaller excellent humans into the world. So many things are so, so bad right now, but Soren and Rune will be the best stewards they can be for the world that they inherit.

Hello, Rune. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, Rune—God damn it, you've got to be kind.

Current MeFi Baby Count: 32.

Congrats! I love how excited big bro is. My 3yo is still so excited about his 2 month old brother.
