The Crown Princess of Japan delivered a baby girl on Saturday.

The economists predict an upswing in the economy due to this happy news. Baby goods manufacuturers are all excited for their prospects now that there is a new princess.

Maybe they expect a surge in the purchase of rattles as gifts for the new princess. The companies claim that the birth will help people appreciate their children more. Perhaps a mother will say to her toddler “Junko-chan, you’re not a princess but I love you anyway. Here, have this nice toy as a consolation prize” Posted by kuri at December 03, 2001 08:29 AM
