So my dh and I have been trying to get pregnant. On this last attempt, I went to the doctor's office for my blood test which was early in the am on Monday, 11/28 (also happens to be our anniversary - 7 years, thank you).

So we have to wait until about 3 or 4 pm to get our results.

About 2:58 pm, I get a call on my cell. It's a number I don't recognize so I excitedly pick it up.

GEICO: "Hello, this is your GEICO rep _____. I am happy to let you know that your policy payment will be decreased by $250 per period (every 6 months)".

Me: Why thanks, that's good news.

So I immediately call dh up, let him know it's not "THE" call, but that we'll be saving about $500 a year on our insurance.

So about a 1/2 hour later, we get "THE" call and it's not good news.

So, of course we were pretty devastated, but my sweet dh, to try to cheer me up, says - we should call GEICO to see if we can get royalties for a commercial recommendation. I was like - what are you talking about. So this is the commercial he suggested:

Wife: Hi honey, I have great news!

Husband: What, you are pregnant?

Wife: No, but we just saved a bunch of money on our car insurance!

So, needless to say, he gave me a good laugh when we both needed it most, and although we're both pretty sad, we'll move on. And this "commercial" still gives us a much needed laugh.

Do you think GEICO will give us some moola for the idea?
 
LOL!! I think it's WONDERFUL that you can keep your sense of your humor in stressful/unhappy situations. This is a lesson I learned from my mom and I think it makes a big difference.
Hoping next time your good news is what you are wishing for!
 
:grouphug:

I'm sorry you didn't get the good news. I was just at my doctor this morning to have blood and all that other fun stuff done. I'm waiting for a call to find out what dose of Today's Hormone I should inject into myself tonight. :rolleyes:

I think it's a great idea for a GEICO commercial though. :goodvibes At least you have maintained a sense of humor through everything.
