Ants and Pregnancy?
So, I never quite expected to create such a stir with a simple mystery riddle that I was sure most people would get right off the bat. Nor did I expect that upon saying "mystery" people would synonymously think "pregnancy."
No, I'm not pregnant. (I wish -- in God's time!)
No, we're not moving -- not to D.C., not to England, not to Antarctica. (Not yet, anyway!)
No, nobody's getting married in our family that I know of, at least not anytime in the immediate future -- unless my brother decides to surprise us all or something!
No, Jesse didn't finish law school (less than two weeks, though!) or pass the bar (Wouldn't that be nice?! We have about 8 weeks left until he even takes the bar and then we won't find out if he passes until September.) or get offered a high profile job or start preaching at our church or decide to run for President.
And no, we're not even starting an ant farm or ant extermination business (Wouldn't that be a novel idea? We could use some help with exterminating some ant problems right now).
But, for those who guessed something about ants or pregnancy, you were on the right track...

I don't think it was the mystery that made people think pregnancy....it was the "I've been anxiously waiting to tell you" part. =)
How exciting - you will be an aunt? Is Brigette expecting?
If so, this took me forever, because we say "aunt" to NOT rhyme with "ant". That and the whole riddle thing escapes me....
Congratulations to the whole family!
But who knows.. I'm probably wrong :)
