The last picture was of the family dog. I went nuts over this little cutie-pie and at the end of the conversation she made a comment that I liked the dog better than the kid. (which was true, by the way).
ok, in this vein I also have a similar story to share. I used to work with a woman who is my age who just oozes maternal instinct. She is a mother of one daughter (back then in her late teens), and absolutely loves and adores babies. Her computer monitor was bordered by baby pictures of the babies of co-workers.

Ok, so one day she found out that one of the women here was pregnant - not someone that I even knew very well. So she's telling me and another co-worker (much more like me and not maternal) - oh - did you know <> is pregnant?

We shared the identical reaction of "so?"

she repeated herself - "don't you understand - a BAAABBIIIIEEEE"

Once again our reaction was "so?"

then she said - "oh you two, if I had said puppies you both would have been so excited..."

This time our reaction was..."PUPPIIEEESSSSSSS "
