I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner the other
night. Wheel of Fortune was on.
And I have noticed that no matter which contestant speaks
with Pat Sajak each one always remarks that they are married to a wonderful spouse and that they have beautiful children.
But I look at these people and think it could not possibly
be true in every single case. Some of them must not be all that wonderful or beautiful.
But an added remark the other night got me hoping that
the fun fact the contestant was professing was indeed true. The woman contestant
gleefully said … and my husband and I have
a new grandchild on the way!
I immediately thought as opposed to having what?--an
old or refurbished or leased grandchild on the way?By definition aren’t all grandchildren who are on
the way considered new? Isn’t
that what gestation is all about?
The better terminology would be .....we have another grandchild on the way.
Souls may be old; but babies are always new—unless of
course you are Benjamin Button.
