Wait a minute. What the? And this is how I replied:
"Didn't we have this conversation after church with her husband today? I heard him talking about how he'll be busy this fall, and that's the reason, blah, blah, blah. Remember, I turned to you and said, 'See, you were the one who guessed first, and you were right.' And then I turned to him and said, 'But we never ask. Congrats. We think it's great!'"
And then my husband replied, after nearly falling over with laughter:
"We were talking about how World of Warcraft 2 is going to be released in November. That's why he'll be so busy. I thought you were being awfully nice and unusually supportive about it."
It's too bad my foot fits so nicely in my mouth.
*BTW, she is pregnant, and she's having a boy in December. She said so herself. At least I know enough not to ask!
Miscommunication can be an amazing thing, can't it? You should feel lucky that your husband didn't say something along the lines of, "so what exactly is the new one coming out," or "this version should have a lot more to it than the last one… it should be a lot more exciting."
