Recently I went to a surprise party. I flew out to see my sister for her birthday, and my visiting was a surprise. And THEN, the next night we had a big drinkfest/private karaoke room and that was a surprise. It was fun.
On the second night, we all got there before my sister and there was a short debate about what to yell. “Surprise!” and “Happy Birthday!” were two pretty sound options. It got me thinking though …

I actually thought I heard someone yell, “suprise you’re pregnant!!” and almost threw up. It’s a possibility for the good AND the bad list, depending on the situation.
I am so yelling vasectomy at the next surprise party I attend. If you think about it, it’s really the gift that stops one giving. Awesome post.
ha! nice line … I may steal your idea.
