Weddings
and spring are surely signs of hope and life.
It was the first wedding both sets of parents had experienced, and the
mothers, especially, were ecstatic.
Being the slightly eccentric old auntie, I decided to go ahead and ask
my nephew the question we all were dying to ask: “Are you and Becca going to have kids?” My sister and I waited in hopeful
anticipation as my nephew cleared his throat and announced, “Becca says the
official answer is ‘We hate kids’” but he was smiling so I knew that this was
not true. He went on to explain that
they wanted to get a house first, get out of the inner city of Washington DC
where they live, and then – yes, maybe then we will have kids, he said. OR, I suggested, it could happen the
old-fashioned way – SURPRISE!
