The long held Aussie tradition of celebrating the birth of a child was formally renamed by Cynthia Holden and Mya Freeman in Surry Hills. “It’s been a sham for years. Who are they kidding?” said Holden.

“They’re idiots,” said Freeman, “Who’s head are we wetting? The child’s? The child isn’t even present.”

A typical Australian ‘Wetting of the Head’. The child is nowhere to be seen.

“This is duplicity. Plain and simple, and it’s happening from the outset. Deception should not be the backbone of a relationship that involves children,” said Holden, a qualified psychologist.

The first-ever wetting of the mouth was of the magnificently-haired Sharks’ halfback Chad Townsend under the watchful eye of several well-known social activists including Holden and Freeman.

It turned out to be a remarkably sober affair. As Townsend said, “when it’s called the ‘Wetting of the Mouth’ it’s like they expect us to get drunk, so we don’t. It’s weird.”

The Surry Hills Times was on hand for the first ‘Wetting of the Mouth’ and in fact put $3,000 behind the bar.

$40 of the bar tab was consumed.

Holden and Freeman were impressed, so they were invited to a home game of the Cronulla Sharks, which they gratefully accepted and attended.

“I actually thought men could be ever so slightly mature,” said Freeman.

Freeman and Holden were inside the Sharks dressing room after the match when it all went horribly wrong.

“I was inside the dressing room after the match when I filmed the players relaxing. Then – Boom!” said Holden.

“Just look how quickly things go pear-shaped when men get together.” said a dumbfounded Freeman.
