... your parents wind up with a four-footed, furry "grandchild."
Ooooops... I guess mamma's guilty... she always refers to me when she talks to grandmamma and grandpappa as their grandson (not grandchild, as I can't really be confused with a child, but I'm certainly their grandson!)...

She also brings in pictures of me to work, to show everybody! And she always says to daddy: "Look at our offspring... isn't he goregous?!"
