Tonight, we were at dinner with — you’re going to need a flow chart, I promise. We were at dinner with an old friend of Ashby’s and her husband. She also is a Vandy grad, but neither of us knew her in school. However, she was my ex’s last serious girlfriend before he started dating me. And we discovered tonight, apparently she and Ashby had become friends in Knoxville [Vandy grads in a foreign land] and were out drinking the night the ex and I got married. You had to be there, but it was so damn funny telling it now, 15 years later.
A great time was had by all, but the point is this. At dinner, I said, “Now, did Ashby tell you we’re expecting?” [He hadn't.] Then he goes, “I thought we were going to announce it this weekend.”
I died laughing. He looked confused. I said, “Umm, whom will we announce it to? Everyone knows.”
He goes, “I haven’t told anyone.”
Umm, oops. Well, the kids and I have. And you can’t keep secrets in my family. You tell one person and shortly, 60 far-flung, long-lost cousins whom you’ve never met are calling to congratulate you.
And now you know, if you didn’t already. Don’t spoil the surprise, mmk? I may already be in trouble. ;)
