The following is an actual conversation that took place between myself and my 8 year old son, JD......
To set the scene - It was last Friday, February 2nd and I had just picked him up from his dad's work. Sometimes, his granny takes him down there to wait for me to get off work. Anyways, I digress.......
JD - "Mom, I got a cool new video game today!!! I've been playing it all afternoon!! It's awesome!!! We need to play it.
Me (rather distracted by the traffic) - "Really? That's cool! I'm sure it's fun!"
JD - "Yeah and you'll never guess where I got to go on the game?"
Me (really not prepared for the answer) - "Where?"
JD - " The whore house."
Me (suddenly a WHOLE LOT more involved in this conversation) - "Come again?"
JD - "The whore house."
Me(about to wreck the car) - "Son, talk a little slower and repeat yourself one more time, because I'm sure I didn't understand you!"
JD - "The whore house. You know....The House of Horrors, it's kind of like a haunted house."
Me (feeling a lot less like I'm about to have heart failure at 27) - "Oh, ok, I understand now. I bet that was fun."
Needless to say........it's all how you say it sometimes!!!!
