Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's part of why I suggest "warn bio-dad first". They've got nothing to scream about if he had the chance to come clean and did not.

Caller ID. If that doesn't work, there's always hanging up.

she's an adult. And don't forget that you can hang up the phone. You don't owe them anything.

Yes.
But you can honestly tell them they don't have a leg to stand on if THEY blame YOU for delivering a shock to their daughter.
And you take away their "well, we were GOING to tell you dear,when the time was right but mean bad Aimee blah blah blah"
And, if they haven't told her, it is better that she learn if from them. For her sake, give them one last chance to be good parents about this.

Wow, Empress.
Relatives are like timebombs, aren't they. I half expect Hubby's daughter to appear at our doorstep someday with some amazing tale that will throw unexpected developments into my life. Then there's his son, somewhere in the world, who may or may not know that the man he calls Dad isn't the genetic donor.
I wonder how many people's lives are moments away from high drama and they never know it.
