Looking back, maybe I should have waited an hour or two.

I very much remember my reaction and where I was when I opened it. I don't remember how or when I told my parents.

It's my personality for such things to be done privately, I guess.
I opened my call with my parents there because I had been water skiing with friends when it arrived in the mail. Nobody made a big deal about it. I can't think of anyone who had some sort of "open the mission call in front of everyone" party.
