Report: Sister Hates How I Keep Mentioning She’s Adopting

TORONTO, ON— When asked about a recent rumour that Leslie, 32, was furious that I gave away the news, parents confirmed the details, with Mom even going so far as to admit that I “could have used more tact”. 
 
It’s too soon to tell how much of the restaurant actually heard me when I mentioned her interest for a second time, and an attempt to contact Leslie resulted in her responding (very maturely) with sullen silence.
 
An insider close to my dear, wonderful sister admitted that it wasn’t my news to give, but that “Yeah, it’s an option we’re considering.” The source (name withheld upon request) went on to say that “(They) were still trying”.

The reaction definitely put a damper on the festivities. Not even the arrival of ice-cream cake would ease my nephew Bobby’s shock, whose fifth birthday we were celebrating.

It was implied later on that my third (and tactful) repetition of the news (again, Aunt Rose is deaf in her weird ear) allegedly caused Bobby’s ensuing tantrum, prompting my brilliant sister to pick up her son and leave, but no confirmation could be made.

There has also been no word as to whether the couple had a preference for a boy or girl, or if Leslie was just stressed that day or something.

*(Correction: Leslie actually 36, not 32.)
