Hello, Tom, are you free next Sunday?
I think so. Why did you ask that?
I'm going to have my first baby, so I plan to hold a baby shower next Sunday.
Congratulations! Why do people hold parties before the baby is born?
It's the tradition. But baby showers as we know them today were not common until after World Warri.
In any case, I like baby showers, because they allow friends and family to share the joy and excitement of welcoming a new life into the world.
So you will come, won't you?
Of course. I will prepare a good gift for the new arrival.
