Well, I certainly can't think of anybody else who'd be mad enough to do this with me, yeah? Still can't quite believe it, though. I'm sure it'll sink in in another week or two.
And, get this. I don't know what prompted this, but Mum's decided she wants to invite everyone's girlfriends for Sunday supper this week. Namely, Sally-Anne, Pansy, and Rachel, but she also asked me if there was anyone I'd like her to invite, too, because she "doesn't want to make assumptions". Which was very sweet of her. (I didn't have the heart to tell her that if she didn't want to make assumptions, she shouldn't say 'she' by default. I'll have that talk with her one of these days.)
I told her I didn't have anyone I wanted her to add to the guest list, and that she knows me, I'm not the settling down type, which is all true. But we should probably have another talk sometime soonish about what we're going to tell her, and when, and all that.
I don't want to lie to her outright! But I don't mind a bit of misdirection for a bit. And I don't want you to feel like I'm, I don't know, ashamed or something. If you want someone to mother over you, we could tell her any day now, I'll think of some way to do it that won't give her the wrong impression, and you'll have all the mothering you could possibly want. But I don't want to unleash the full force of Mum being Mum on you if that's not what you want, especially not Mum in My First Grandbaby mode. So it's all up to you.
(She did say she'd suspected you were up the duff, not in as many words, though -- said you had "that glow" about you. Have to say she's right, you do look radiant. Or possibly like you're going to crack up at any second. Which is still how I feel.)
