Walking Backwards

Thrilling experiences from a rather uneventful life.

Saturday, October 09, 2004

Wow. Have you ever had someone ask you something that you didn't expect and then you have no idea what do? Well, I talked to my mother this evening and she told me that I might be getting a call from my half-sister, Melissa. Yay! I thought, since I haven't talked to her in several months and they just got back from Africa. "Yes," my mother said "she doesn't know if she is able to ask you something, so I will. She wants to know if you would be a surrogate mother for her and her husband." Uh, Um, what?! My mom drops this as casually as she talks about shopping for a new coat. Apparently, this is not as big of a deal as I think it is because she just kept on going with other conversation as I sat stunned on the other end of the line for about ten minutes. I have thought about being a surrogate mother before, but more in an abstract sense. This is not abstract. Joe is not thrilled about the idea, either. We are going to think about this for a long time and I have no idea what our answer will be. I want to do it, but I don't want to do it. Damn people, shaking up things.
