Sharing the News: Kristine's parents

The curling bonspiel in Pilot Mound was happening this year on the Easter weekend. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to get together to celebrate the holiday as well as do a little bit of curling. As it turned out, it was also the perfect opportunity to share some very exciting news.

Now, you can't just come out and say "hey, we are having a baby!" It is a kind of game where the new parents set up a situation so that the news is shared very subtly and then you wait to see how long it takes recipients of the news to figure it out. This is the fun part. They did it on the A&W commercial where the couple buys the new grandpa a Grandpa burger. Our friends did it when they invited us over for pie. And we did it with Adam's parents by sticking the photo of the pregnancy test in the middle of the Arizona trip slideshow.

So, for my parents, I bought an Easter card that said "For Grandma and Grandpa".


It took mom 0.3 seconds.

More excited and cheerful madness ensued.
