How To Tell Daddy

How to tell a sixty-year-old he is going to be a new dad?
His seventh wife was a bit younger, only twenty-two actually.
He had a grandchild who was twenty.
The twenty-year-old and she got along great.
“Buy this onesie, and show it to him,” he suggested.
The onesie was a “Hi Dad” announcement.
It was a hit with everybody.
Except the eighty-year old grandmother
Upset that they made the announcement at her big birthday party.
No longer the center of attention, she pouted the rest of the night.

This absolutely hilarious, Caren. I'm betting there really is a family like this somewhere.
