So . . . why taco? Most people say bean, right? As with everything, there is a story to the taco name. <\/p>\n

Last October The Husband and I boogied down to Columbus, Georgia on a Thursday afternoon to meet my sister and her husband. We were going to see George Carlin — live! We were very excited, and looking back, we are all very glad we went to see him since he passed away the night before Lydia was born.<\/p>\n

We were trying for Lydia by now — I had another week to find out I had her. I had suspicions that my sister and her husband might be trying for their own child but wasn’t sure. <\/p>\n

The four of us were waiting for the show to start and discussing our dinners. The Husband and I had had Wendy’s, I think, and my sister and brother-in-law had enjoyed some tasty tacos.<\/p>\n

“How was your taco?” my sister asked her husband.<\/p>\n

“Most excellent,” he replied. He rubbed her belly and asked, “And how is your taco?”<\/p>\n

There was this split second where my sister looked kinda funny, looked at him, then said rather guardedly, “My taco is fine.”<\/p>\n

“Oh, my God — they’re pregnant.” I thought.<\/p>\n

It turns out they weren’t, but wouldn’t you have thought that, too, what with the belly rubbing and taco questions?<\/p>\n

So, less than a week later when I saw those two pink lines, what else could it be BUT a taco?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
