Expectation: That’s kind of what the Advent Season is about: preparation for Christmas – for Christ to come again into our lives anew, with anticipation and expectation, with hope and promise, and comfort and joy.
At my age, there is not the chance of a snowball in hell that I’d get pregnant, and Opal is older than me, so Earl should not have fallen for that old joke.
I love when she messes with grandpa! They are so adorable. She owed him one after he told his grandson to eat cookies before dinner even though it would bug grandma.

I’m guessing Earl wasn’t all that worried about the last few months.

There was a pregnant pause between panel 2 and panel 3.

Earl must be pretty slow if that one got to him.

If Earl was excited or upset about what Opal said, he sure didn’t show it. He knew she was pulling his leg, again.

Opal loves when she throws Earl off track unexpectedly!

Not long after we got married, and our 1975 VW Rabbit rusted out and I junked it, we sent letters to all our friends telling them the rabbit died.

With that news, I thought Earl and his chair would have been turned over in panel 3.

It’s good we don’t see Earl’s expression in the 2nd panel.

Was an immaculate deception. Obviously.

as a euphemism “I’m expecting” is open to way too many interpretations

Expecting? I’d be expecting to call the lawyer … to sue two doctors – hers and mine!

I think at their age he would realize that is impossible for so many reasons.

He is easily fooled. It takes two people for the other thing.

People do this all the time on Facebook. It’s just stupid. Sorry Brian, I’m rolling my eyes at this today.

I think Earl is smart enough, and knows her well enough (bet she’s tried this gag before) to know perfectly well that she was pulling his leg.
