Well.... Here is how I told one of my bosses... strange I know..
(we were close)
Anyways.... Ok... you have to know my husband. So.... one day he called me & had me come home during lunch. All I was allowed to do was come home... pee in a pill bottle thing ... and go back to work. I told him he was crazy but he just had this GUT feeling. So, I ammused him and came home, peed in the cup and went back to work. ANYWAYS.... little did I know he set up a camcorder and recorded himself dipping the stick in the bottle & running the test. NOW>>>> what is comical about the whole thing is... you have to wait like, what ?? 3 minutes for results??? SOOOO he proceeds to read the instructions on how to do the test to pass time... OUTLOUD to the camera
(goober) soooo as time is passing he comes to the part about how long it takes, he looks at his watch and states it has been about 2 minutes or so and he would give it a little bit longer... shortly after that he bumps the paper and it moves, revealing the stick.... and BOOM... wouldnt ya know it... I am pregnant!!!! What followed was the funnies thing EVER... his reaction was completely PRICELESS... He picks up the stick, looks at it real close to make sure, puts it up close for the camera to see, looks at it again .... THEN.... throws it down and runs backwards making some goofy, little girl sounding noise... it was sooooo funny. There were words that werent suitable for all ears so neeless to say he did some dubbing over that bad words ... the dubbing said..."bad word... bad, bad badddd word"
It was too funny. I took that video to work with me, sat my boss down in from of a TV and told her I had something she just HAD to watch.... It did not take long for her to catch on to what I was trying to tell her and by the end of the video she was laughing, crying and soooo excited...
Anyways... moral of the story... make a video that springs the surprise on them just acting as if you made a short Christmas wish to everyone and play it when everyone gets together....
CONGRATULATIONS and have fun with our announcement
P.S..... that is also what you see at the beginning of my sons "baby video" that ..... then a fat belly & his room... then him RIGHT after he was born then throughout his young life... a WONDERFUL treasure I could never live without.
