Say What?

"So, are you looking forward to being a grandma?"

"Sure, if that's what you want one day.  I've told you many times that I'm fine either way, though.  If you want to have a child, fantastic, but if you don't, I'm okay with that, too.  It's your choice, not mine."

"No, I mean, are you ready to be a grandma now?"

"What do you mean, now?"

"I mean right now, as in right away."

*cough* *splutter* "Wha - at?"

"No, no, gawd no, not that!  Really, Mother!!  I meant to Chico, not a human! Gah!  His foster mom is bringing him on Saturday and if the overnighter goes well, I can sign the adoption papers on Sunday, then he's mine for good."

"Oh, er, yeah, that's all right then."

And then I went off for a lie down to recover.   She could have said that she was talking about the dog right at the start, right?  Honestly, kids these days.  Er, I mean, young adults these days.

And what's with this Grandma bit?  When did she become that sort of pet person?  *rolls eyes*

    :-D

    You are getting a granddog! Isn't that just too sweet!

    I hate it when people tell me I am my dog's mum. I always tell them I am not, and that she already has a mum... who just happens to bear more of a family resemblance to her than I do. Thank gawd I don't look like my dog!!!!

    I totally understand the initial shock. She must have had quite a giggle inside. So this is it, the dog will most likely become part of your family this weekend. This is exciting.

    "Sucker"! LOL! She was probably loving the shock factor :) By the way, she had me too as I thought to myself, "ME, a great Auntie?"
    Hope it all goes well - "he" (until we find out whatever name you chose) has already captured your heart! We have a Lab and love her to death but she doesn't come in the house as the middle one is allergic to dogs.
    Take care and can't wait for an update!

    Love,
