Very Revealing!!!!!

   Yesterday was a first for my wife and I.
Our very first REVEAL Party!
    In just a few short months we will
become grandparents again!
    Yesterday the new Mom and Dad,and
a new Big Sister,gathered family members
together to learn whether the new arrival
will be a girl or a boy.
     Two people shared the secret in advance
and the new parents were NOT part of that
pair!
     A box filled with balloons was waiting
for the entourage and at a given signal
they were to be released. Blue for a boy.
Pink for a girl.
     I started by saying this was our first
Reveal Party. That's not completely true.
     We had what amounted to a Reveal
Party when our daughters and son were
born.
     In our case, though, the "guests" all
wore Hospital Gowns and masks and it
was not balloons released from a
cardboard box that reveled the gender of
our new arrivals. The arrivals all
announced themselves!
     We didn't have Ultrasound to show
us who we could expect.
      We had to rely on other forms of
science if we wanted a clue.
       For instance, you could take off
your  wedding ring, tie it to a piece of string,
and hang it over the expectant Mom's belly.
If it swings in a circle, you are promised a
boy; back and forth indicates a girl.
      Another so called sure bet was a Mom's
craving for chocolate. That meant you were
going to have a little girl. Salty and sour
cravings indicated a boy.
      I never trusted that one. My wife has
always favored chocolate, even before our
son was born.
      Come to think of it we never had any
food in the Delivery Room. The Reveal
Party featured Subway sandwiches, trays
of fruits and vegetables, and plenty of
pastries!
     Maybe these new ideas aren't so bad
after all!
     Hope all your..........oh...wait a minute!
     I forgot to mention.......It's a BOY....
and all our NEWS is great!!!!!!!
