All in the family

My mom, sister and I were watching Oprah this afternoon. It was this big feminism episode, with Gloria Steinem, Billie Jean King, Maria Schriver... There was a clip of Maria at the Democratic convention watching her uncle, Ted Kennedy, giving a speech. Oprah and Maria discussed how moving the moment was, and they cut to a clip showing Maria crying as she listened to the speech.

Julie, Mom and I immediately also teared up. WTF? We all looked at each other, wiping tears, and giggled.

Did I mention that my sister is also pregnant? She's due two weeks after me.

Two pregnant sisters + one soon-to-be grandma = surprise emotional outbursts at unexpected moments. Occasionally synchronized.

Good times.
