Rumors

My mom called me yesterday. She had just talked to a family friend. This friend congratulated her, to my mom's bewilderment, at becoming a grandma again. My mom had no idea what she was talking about. The friend's response, "well, isn't Charity having a baby?" Mom: "I think I would have heard that". They laughed off the whole matter and the friend could not remember where she heard such a thing. Mom just thought she'd tell me in case I was congratulated myself..."news" tends to spread. No, I am not pregnant and yes, my mom would have heard such news if it had existed.
