Your Life Is Never Dull, Is It?
Thus far the award for best reaction to the news has to go to Patti. I sincerely thought she was about to do a cartwheel. Smiles, clapping, hopping, hugs and the best part? I barely had to say a word…
Patti: What’s up?
Me: Well…
Patti: You’re moving in with your new girlfriend?
Me: Well yes but-
Patti: You’re getting married!
Me: No but-
Patti: Oh my god! Congratulations!
The runner up thus far is Amy’s feigned jaw drop.
I probably take the prize for worst reaction - it’s still pending. A month of shock, a bout of hysteria over telling my mom, and selfish sequestered me time…let’s keep all this to ourselves (i.e. don’t tell my kid) shall we?
