Repost from June 2008
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANDMA LULU!!
Hubby: Hey Grandma! How are you?
LuLu: Hey baby. I’m just fine. How ya feeling?
Hubby: I’m good. Guess what? We’ve got some news.
LuLu: Something new? What?
Hubby: We’re having a baby!
LuLu: Ya’ll are making gravy?
Hubby: No, Grandma, we’re having a baby.
LuLu: What kind of gravy?
Hubby: No, Grandma, listen. MrsTDJ is pregnant and we’re having a baby.
LuLu: Pork chops and gravy? I don’t make ’em so much no more.
A frustrated MrsTDJ grabs the phone from hubby.
MrsTDJ: LuLu, listen.
LuLu: I’m listening to MrTDJ talk about ya’lls dinner.
MrsTDJ: LuLu, no really, really listen and pay attention.
LuLu: **sighing** Ok, go ‘head.
TDJ: I’m pregnant and we are having a baby.
LuLu: A baby? Oh my word. So why is Mr. TDJ wasting time talking about gravy?
That woman keeps me laughing. She’s never trying to be funny, but I think that’s why I get such a kick out of her comedy. And of course, my husband’s new nickname for our little blessing is “Pork Chop”.
Today, March 14 is her birthday and thinking of her always brings a smile to my face. Happy birthday Grandma!! Reach out and call a loved one today blog family!
NOTE: THIS IS A REPOST FROM JUNE 2008. I am NOT having another child. LittleTDJ is a happy, wonderful only child, just like his mama!
I’m a lurker, but just wanted to say Congratulations!!!!!!!
Thanks for coming out for a moment Maggie!! But, I can’t accept the Congrats. *lol* Sorry for the confusion. This was a repost from June of 2008. My only son is 2 and he is most definitely an only child like his mother!!
Babies are such a blessing especially those that are smothered in gravy. Congrats.
Happy Birthday Grandma.
Sorry Wendy!! This is a repost. *lol* I’m so NOT expecting another child!
I guess I should read a little closer, Oh well Happy Birthday to Grandma anyway, in her honor have a lil gravy.
Like a couple others I obviously missed the “Repost from 2008” the first time I read this.
