10. My daughter did the exact same thing to me when she was in the Air Force
Sat Oct 3, 2015, 11:02 PM
Oct 2015

It was her birthday and I had been trying all afternoon to call her. She finally called me and I was talking to her. My son yelled something at me, and I turned my back, telling him I was talking to Hillary. Then my daughter said, hang on a second and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I said not now, I yelled, then I heard a soft voice say, "mom, turn around". It was surreal. I kept staring at her then staring at the phone, because my brain just wouldn't put it together. Turned out the entire family knew she was coming, but she wanted to surprise me.

What a wonderful shock for you, my dear malokvale77! CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2015 #1
