The Baby Shower

Title: The Baby Shower
Pairing/Rating/Warning: none, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: Jack and Ianto discuss the idea of throwing a baby shower
Author's Note: Written for [profile] fandom_me  who wanted a story where Jack was celebrating something, I hope planning the celebration instead is okay...

 

“A baby shower, Ianto, that’s what we need to do!  We need to throw her a baby shower!”

“A baby shower, Sir?”

“Sure!  Why not?  She’d love it.  Everyone loves a baby shower!”

“But... a baby shower?”

“Come on, it’ll be fun.  It’ll give us a chance to spruce up the place...”

“Spruce up, Sir?”

“We’ll scrub this place till it shines!  Maybe hang some decorations...”

“Decorations, Sir?”

“Of course decorations!  Baby showers need decorations!  It’s tradition!!”

“I wasn’t aware that there were traditions regarding pterodactyls, Sir”

“Very funny.  You can be such a spoilsport, Ianto.”

“Just being practical, Sir.”

ahhh, that makes sense too. But you were able to figure out what I meant by 'baby shower' right? Or did the whole thing just seem like gobblegook?

I've seen it on US tv - it's turned up in Friends and such stuff. I know what it means, I just find the phrase amusing.

Oh, good. You're right, the phrasing does sound a bit funny when you think about it.
