I did. Mrs. O'Rights did not. So, the ultrasound technician wrote the "answer" on a post-it note, and sealed in inside of an envelope. I opened it...looked...and put it back in the envelope.

We literaly didn't make it to the elevator before Val was pestering me about what "it" was. I wouldn't tell her, but I gave her the envelope and told her that it was up to her whether she wanted to look or not. We got home, and she reasoned to herself that if she just happened to hold the envelope upside down, and the note just happened to fall out where she could see it...then her curiosity and her conscience could be satisfied. Alas...post-it notes, being what they are, stuck to the inside of the envelope and wouldn't fall out, no matter how hard she shook it.

I've never seen an envelope rended so fast, or in so many pieces, in all of my life.

Curiosity. Gets ya every time.
