if it wasn't for disappointment, i wouldn't have any appointments

Today, at Thanksgiving lunch:


MY DAD
So, Michelle has some pretty big news!

GRANDMOTHER
(Beaming)
I know what it is.

MICHELLE
I'm pretty sure you don't.

GRANDMOTHER
So what's the news?

MICHELLE
Well...I got a book deal!

GRANDMOTHER
(Crestfallen)
Oh. I thought you were having a baby.

MICHELLE
I figured.
