Shock news, mum gets bus pass

02.26.08 | 48 Comments | Filed Under chocolate, family, funny, kids, parents, why?, women

Just for a moment this morning I saw fame and fortune ahead for my family.
It didn’t last long, but for a moment I could see the headlines, imagine the cameras and reporters capturing photos of my mum in her bathrobe as she peeped out of the front door, and hear the ching ching of a sack load of coins being flung into my mum’s piggy bank…

And all because of a little bit of news Miss M saw fit to share with me over breakfast.
Miss M: “Granny is having a baby.”

Me: “Erm, pardon M.”

Miss M: “My Granny is having a baby.”

Me: “Are you sure?”

Miss M: “Well, she likes babies.”

Me: “She does like babies, but I don’t think she’s having one right now. Shall we ring and ask her?”

Miss M: “Yes. ”

We press the buttons. She grins at me and waits for granny to answer.

Miss M: “Granny, are you having a baby soon?”

Granny: “Cough, cough, no M, I’ve had my babies. Your Mummy was my baby.”

Miss M: “But you do like babies granny.”

Granny: “Yes I do M, but I can’t have anymore.”

Miss M: “Oh, ok. Bye den Granny.”

She passes the phone to me and skips off to harass her poorly sister who is curled up on the settee.

Me: “Now, are you sure you’re not having a baby Mum?”

Granny: Snort.

Oh, and I nabbed this cute meme from Akelamalu who was tagged by Mimi Queen of Memes who devised the Message in a Bottle meme.

Here’s the rules:
1. Compose a message to place in your virtual bottle.

2. Right click and SAVE the blank graphic below

3. Use a graphics program of your choice to place the message on the picture

4. Post the Message In a Bottle meme and your creation on your blog along with these rules

5. Tag a minimum of 5 bloggers - or your entire blogroll - to do the same. Notify them of the tag.

I can’t do the Mr. Linky thingie , so head over to this post at Mimi’s and enter your name in the Mr. Linky so others can visit you to see your message in a bottle. Also email Mimi with your message in a bottle so she can put them altogether like she does with the Peace Globes.

I’m sure you’ll agree this message is worth getting out to the masses. ;)
