Quick Thinking Mom, That's Me.

My sister came over for dinner last night. It had been awhile since we really hung out, so that was nice. Before too long, we got to talking about old friends/ acquaintances that we haven't seen in forever. She asked me about a certain friend of my husband's who recently reappeared after not seeing them for almost 4 years. We were sitting in the living room and little man was watching TV.



"Whatever happened to JimBob*?" She asked.



"Actually we just saw him a couple weeks ago... (blah blah blah about what he's doing now)." I say.



"Oh, so has he changed much?"



"No, still missing some brain cells. If he would ever stop getting high, a few might actually regenerate." I say in an almost whisper.



"Who, mom, who gets high?" Suddenly little man is actually paying attention.



"Airplane pilots, that's who, silly."



Yeah, I know. Nice save and really clever. But he didn't question it and we quickly changed the subject.




* JimBob is not his real name. I don't personally know the Duggars either, and JimBob was just the first name that popped in my mind. No offense the the patriarch of this family.
