Telling the Parents

Thanks to my good friend and college roomie we had a great plan for revealing the pregnancy to my (V) Mom and Dad. They came down for the weekend just to visit. We attempted a nice dinner, that absolutely fell apart in a series of errors. But, we didn't mind too much, because we had this big secret to share. After dinner we sat down to play Hoopla, a Cranium type game. I was up with a drawing task - draw the person on this card. Well instead of drawing for that clue, I drew this picture you see. Well my parents, being such games, weren't thinking beyond the game. So while my hands were shaking and I was trying to look casual, they're guessing 'obstetrician, gynecologist...surrogate mother'... So finally I draw a big arrow pointing to myself. Mom stares at the picture dumb-founded, Dad looks up and says "you're not, are you?!" It was pretty funny!
