So when the phone rang Friday afternoon and I heard Boy#1 was using his speaker phone, I jumped to my feet. I'm way too old for such affectations, but I could hear my inner teenager squeeeeeee-ing as I answered.
"Is Dad there?" he asked.
"Yes! I'll get him! Is Lovely Girl there?" I burbled back.
"I'm here," she said.
Oh, yes! Oh, I think I know what this might be! Oh, my! Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point!
"Honey, it's Boy#1 and Lovely Girl!" I exclamation pointed to Husband. "Quick! I'll put us on speaker!"
And then I pushed the button I was sure would let us share the news in a veritable puppy pile of happiness...and disconnected the call.
I'm going to be just a swell mother-in-law.
You will be a wise, caring, understanding, helpful, unselfish and absolutely wonderful mother-in-law! (And SOMEDAY - Grandma!) Because you are all those things as a person - especially to those you love. You do great and I bet she's almost as excited about getting you as she is about getting your son.
ReplyDeleteNot possible, Mo4. Not possible.
DeleteI do my best to never use "LOL" but I just actually did laugh out loud, so LOL! Love the vision of your inner teenager squeeeeeee-ing!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you and Boy#1 and Lovely Girl. How lucky you all are! Congrats!
