I just had to share this with you. I think it is hilarious but unfortunately, I am the only one that does around here.
Give you a little background, my son got married before my daughter did. He now has two little girls that are absolutely dolls (of course, I am the grandmother and I would think so, lol). His wife’s side of the family has little ones everywhere. I think at times they are crawling out of the woodwork. Now on my son’s side, there are no little ones. In fact, my daughter and him were the first babies to hit my husband’s side in years. So you can imagine they were both spoiled rotten. Also my son keeps after my daughter to have children were his children will have someone to play with on his side. OK, that’s the background.
The last time we all got together, we were sitting in the living room. My husband was holding the newest addition to the family and I was sitting in the floor playing with her. My son kept watching me and finally got up and came over and told me, he needed to talk to me. I thought, “oh, brother, what have I done now.” His wife and her family knows that I am a witch and they do not approve at all. So I figured it had something to do with that. So anyway, he takes me by the arm and we go to the kitchen. We sit down at the kitchen table and my son is very, very serious looking. He would clear his throat and then look down and then up at me. Finally he was starting to get on my nerve. If you have something to say to me, then say it, don’t beat around the bush. I finally asked him what he needed to talk to me about. Well he worked his gall up and said, “It is very personal, Mother.” I said, “OK, what is it? You know you can talk to me about anything.” He proceeded to tell me that he had been after his sister to have children and she wouldn’t do it right now. So he came up with this brilliant idea for Mother to get her tubes fixed and start having kids again. I was so shocked I almost fell out of the chair. He said, “you know the girls need someone to play with on my side.” And since his sister wouldn’t do it, his wife and him had talked it over and decided I would be a good candidate. Well you talking about someone hee-hawing around, I was in shock and almost in the floor. I had always had an answer to give my kids when they talked to me but this……..I finally came to my senses and told him I appreciated them thinking about me but I didn’t want to have anymore children. Then he started the argument about why not? He is about as bull-headed as I am and if I want something bad enough I don’t take no for an answer and he is just like me. Good grief! I just finally told him because I didn’t want too. That was that! He got up from the table mad as an old wet hen. I stayed in the kitchen for a few moments dying laughing but it wasn’t out loud where they could hear me. I laughed so hard I was crying. After I got over my laughing spell, I went back to where everyone was. My hubby looked at me and could tell I had been crying. He thought something bad had happened he didn’t know they were laughing tears. Immediately after the last one was out the door. My hubby wanted to know what was the matter, what did our son want to talk to me about? I told him, he better sit down. We went in the living room and got all nice and comfortable. I told him about how our son had been after our daughter to get pregnant and she didn’t want to right now. I also told him that he wanted me to get my tubes fixed and us have a baby. After my husband recovered for that blow, his first words were, “HELL NO!” I started laughing again. After I have had time to think about it, I still wonder where he came up with this idea and it still makes me crack a smile. Whoever said, “Kids say the darndest things got that right.” Oh, boy!
