Some time ago, our friend came to visit. He'd barely sat down before he started — how they sang to the baby, the competition for the baby's attention. The best grandparents he'd ever seen. Possibly the best grandparents anyone had ever seen. Then my partner asked about his wife, and he told her she had lived in both Africa and Asia before they met. Super, super awesome person.
