“Yes! You don’t even have to finish the sentence,” theCBS This Morninganchor tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue (on stands Friday), when asked if she’s ready to be a grandmother. “Yes! Dear Jesus, yes. I can’t wait.”
Even though the anchor says she’s excited to be a grandmother as soon as possible, her daughter has other ideas.
“She goes, ‘Mom, my womb is empty and I would just like to plan the wedding,'” King continues. “I said, ‘Give me a freakin’ date so I can start working on this!'”
