Granny Roady

I told my mom our big news tonight.  She came over to see her favorite grand-dog and while she was loving on Scout I offered her some chocolate.  Here is how our conversation went:

Elizabeth:  "Do you want some chocolate?"
Granny Roady:  "YEAH!  I want some chocolate!  What kind is it?"
Elizabeth:  "It's this new American/English hybrid."  hands chocolate bar to Granny Roady
Granny Roady:  reads label of chocolate "He or She; you'll have to wait and see.  Does it have nuts in it?"
Elizabeth:  "Did you read the label?"
Granny Roady:  "Yes.  Does that mean it has nuts in it?"
Elizabeth:  "Maybe you should turn it over and read the back..."
Granny Roady:  flips chocolate bar over and reads - The Mulleys are excited to announce the arrival of the newest member to the family in December.  "Oh!  You're pregnant!"

It was a little bit like pulling teeth to get her to understand what I was trying to say, but it does make for a great story!  Granny Roady is excited to add another grand-baby to her brood of grandchildren.

I love that your mom's reaction to chocolate disguised as great news was so similar to when Dave proposed to you using chocolate!

M&M doesn't fall far out of the bag? Congratulations!
