Re: Creative ways to tell (dads) and family the great news

[Guest guest]

O.k. so this probally wont apply to you as I'm sure " dad " knows

already, but maybey the idea could be tweaked or someone else could

use it.

I have a friend who had her family over for chinese food. Mind you

her husband didn't know yet that they were having their first. She

made sure that she gave him this one particular fortune cookie.

Inside the fortune read... " You may not be able to hit the lotto, but

your sperm sure hit the jackpot cause were havin' a baby!! " He still

has this hanging above his workbench in his garage. Maybe you could

give cookies to everone and just change the fortunes accordingly???
