The onesie that went around the world

At church on Sunday, Jeff was talking to some friends of ours who were having a 'meet the baby' shower later that afternoon, the Phans. While visiting, Wes, the teenage son of a couple of friends of ours came up to Jeff and handed him a gift bag. When Jeff asked him what it was, he said "It's from my Mom and Dad, for you and your family." Jeff thanked him, finished talking and went to his car.

Curious, he opened the bag and unwrapped the gift to find a pink baby outfit, size 9 months, adorable and all, with the cutest elephant on the front. So he arrives at my Mom's house for lunch with the bag, and as we are all sitting down to eat explains what has happened, and asks me if I have been talking to Jackie Greer about something I had NOT been talking to HIM about. We all had a good laugh and figured it was a teenage boy mixup and that the bag had been for our friends the Phans and their new baby girl. Of course it changed all the lunch time conversation, and Jeff kept talking about if we had another baby, would he wish it were a boy or a girl ( we have differing opinions, we discovered), so forth, to the point that I'm asking him,"have you prayed about this and not told me? are you wanting more babies?" We were all laughing and joking, but let's face it, I think the question is now very much on the table now, thank you, Jackie.

So a few hours later, Mom and I head off to the Phan's shower, deliver the Greer gift, and even make sure that Kristen, who was writing down all the gift info for Ruth, knew who the gift was from. There was no card attached. Everyone loved the outfit, ooohed and aaahhhed over it.

Later that night at a leadership meeting another friend commented to Jackie what an adorable gift she had sent to Ruth's shower, and puzzled Jackie said,"Well, that's who it was for then." Jeff told her how he had delivered the gift for her and Jackie explained that she had actually sent Wes with the gift that morning to give to JERRY West, NOT Jeff!! Then later my Mom told her about our lunch discussion...

So, if you read this Lexi, the gift that was meant for you and precious Audrey went around the world instead, put babies on my husband's mind, and gave about 5 of us the best laugh we have had in quite awhile!!
