what was, and what will be

So the news comes at the end of my day, the great news, that my friend, my long time pal, is soon to be a father! I have no advice for the man, I can't speak with any authority on the subject, but I can say congratulations Mike, you the man! And now soon, you'll be the dad! I could make jokes about "they said you didn't have it in you" or "finally there'll be someone in your house with a smaller bladder than you!" but nah, those would be in bad taste!
