Attention les Curieux! This a special announcement to inform you that a
mystery couple among you will be parents next spring! The identity of
the mother and father will be revealed on Tuesday October 3rd. In the
meantime, can you guess who it is? Unfortunately there are no prizes
offered for the correct answer, but we had a feeling that wouldn't
deter you from participating in the "guess the mommy" contest. Post
your guesses in the comments below ... and no, don't start calling or
emailing all the ladies in our group and asking them ... that's cheating!









My first guess would be that Paul somehow found a way to become the world's first pregnant man, but I think I'll go with Claudia. Her and Joseph just became an Auntie and Uncle this summer and maybe they love it so much they wanted a baby of their own.

Hmm...well Tyler's right! Paul is the most likely candidate. I don't think I can guess, though, since I know at least three couples who have mentioned they're "thinking about" having children. I wonder who it is ...

It seemes to me that if a female friend is really, really excited about finding out who this is...then it is probably not her. So look for someone playing it really cool. At least that is my strategy.

No fair! I can't tell who's playing it cool from long distance. Maybe it's Karen, and she's trying to fake us all out with that comment. She's a scientician, they're tricky like that.
Rédigé par : Tyler H. | 2006.10.01 à 20:33
I think it's Sofi!

hum... well, I'm dying to know who it is so I can't play it cool- that rules me out (sorry Tyler).
My first guess was Kori and Jonathan but then they're not really "among us"...or are they? Karen did leave a somewhat vague message- could be hiding something...but wait: is that baby drinking PC cola?

Je crois que c'est Tim et Edith. Ce serait leur genre de nous faire des petites cachoteries (comme pour leur annonce de fiançailles et mariage !!!) Par ailleurs, j'espére que ce n'est pas Andrea qui me fait des petites surprises...

Joseph croit que c'est Chriszine... c'est vrai qu'il y a un bout de temps qu'on les a vus.

how many times are we allowed to guess? My second post doesn't count coz it was for Joseph.
It doesn't say "a mystery couple among you will be NEW parents next spring"... maybe they already are parents and are expecting, say, a second child?
...This game is fun! we should play this every month (just kidding!)
Rédigé par : Claudia | 2006.10.02 à 16:45
Me??? No way! Anyway, who has time for a family when you're involved in the final stages of a scientician world takover??
Doh! Just forget you read that ...
Rédigé par : operon_script | 2006.10.02 à 17:52
According to my theory...(see my above comment)...there are several possible candidates who are laying pretty low. Edith, for example, however, she told me the other week that they don't have internet access yet, so they probably don't even know about our little game...or do they really. Sofi hasn't made any comment either. Andrea hasn't made any comments but Julien has been trying to fake us all out with his multiple comments. Sarah made one simple little guess as if to throw us a fake, notice she couldn't get real excited about it, or it would give it away. If it IS Claudia, she's faking us all out the most, because she wanting to play this game every month. Karen has given us a good scientific reason that it is not her. Let's see...it could be someone a bit older...it is time for Ron and Janice to have a couple of more kids just to keep consistent with their family planning. I guess we'll all have to wait a few more hours.

Oh, I must include Chriszine in on this so that you don't think I'm giving you some fake freudian exclusion. She's another female friend who hasn't made any guesses in the little game. I've heard she's been very occupied lately...but I'm not sure if it is school or morning sickness and painting the nursery.

Its a lovely licorice flavored jelly bean. Its tasty, and has a gooey center. Why all this fuss over who is the proud owner of this delicious licorice flavored jelly bean?
Rédigé par : GUBER | 2006.10.02 à 18:51
It'S Sofi
Why would Dave call himself a grand-pa. I know he is our parent's age but we normaly forget that. I don't see why he would remind it to us. Unless it is Kori...
But i really though it was Andrea because they moved. They must need a bigger place...
Ok, Sofi. I can just imagine her laughing shyly and Joël pretending he's got no clue. At my housewarming she had to leave because she felt tired... mmm
a bet for sofi!
Rédigé par : Edith | 2006.10.02 à 20:58
This game is getting tricky! Is someone trying to fake us out? Is it someone you wouldn't expect? Is it someone single who had an immaculate conception? And in this day and age of modern science and political correctness, who says it's even a woman who's pregnant?
At least I managed to blow the cover on Karen and her world scientician takeover.

ZAAAAM! Great sacks of fermenting barley.
I hope it isn't my AI bot running loose on the net procreating again. Somebody corner it quick.
My offical position:
the thought of a mysterous pregnant women amoung us is creepy, I feel like she could be hiding in the shadows just waiting to eat any who pass by to sustain her ultrahuman pregnant woman powers.

That's not even funny Karen! I think David is having way too much fun with this, so my guess is either Kori or Sofi. You'll also notice Sanan hasn't said a word - I think she might blow the grandma cover if she did! Although, that dark horse Crizine really hasn't been around much and Dave seems to be covering for her pretty well! Can't wait to see!\janice

I don't know, don't world takeovers often start with population strategies?
Rédigé par : Sofi | 2006.10.03 à 10:55
is that a confession Sofi?
Ok, is there anyone else but me who's dying to know the answer to this game? I've checked my emails 4 times already today... a good suspence is fun but this is killing me! at least give us a clue!
Rédigé par : Claudia | 2006.10.03 à 13:11
J'ai débattu ce grand mystère avec Tyler toute la journée hier via courriel. En passant, ce n'est pas moi. Here are My top guesses:
Andrea and Julien
Dave and Criszine
My initial answer was, "o, I just knew that Dave and Sanan were planning for another one"
But maybe four is enough for them...and after all, Dave was pretty serious when he said that paying for a kid's college education was no fun at all.
