My mom called me today just in time to hear the big news. This is about how the conversation went at that moment:
Me: "Well, we actually do have news."
Her: "What? You got a dog?"
Me: "No." (Though I wish we had.)
Her: "Are you pregnant?"
Me (laughing): "No!"
Then she ran out of ideas. Apparently the only news to expects from me is to bring another living thing into our family. Either a dog or a child.
When I told her we were at the registry's office that morning she started to laugh.
She surely is one of the greatest people in the world.
