Mom and I were just talking about my grandparents visiting last weekend on the phone (and for the sake of explanation for this story, my grandfather is not my dad's biological father), and somehow stumbled onto spelling mistakes she made in her last email to me. Aaaaaand that's how we got to this conversation:

Mom: "I mean, look at 'pizza'. That's not spelled the way it sounds. Why is that?"
Me: "I don't know. Ask the Italians. You're related to one."
Mom: "Not really."
Me: "Mom, Grandpa's Italian."
Mom: "... okay, so only by injection."

EWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Okay, Mom, YOU LOSE. *goes off to remove the brain cells that remember that with a spork*

And I'm guessing you are the second virgin birth in two thousand years?

I'm willing to bet she's one of millions, if wishful thinking has anything to do with it. I'd like to believe I'm a product of a more holy variety of second coming, but walking in on the folks when I was thirteen kinda messed that one up...

I'm just glad that when my mom's cousin asked me once if I'd ever heard my parents having sex across the hall, I could honestly answer, "EWWWWW, NO!"

The terrifying thing was my mom wasn't making a crack about her sex life. Which means that she was talking about somebody else's sex life whose name I won't mention, and GYAAAAAAAAAH.

Wait...

it was your FATHER who got injected?

She meant my grandfather injected my grandmother. And thank you oh-so-much for making me clarify that. :P *may never stop gagging again*

Sorry.

I got confused.

Making remarks like that is one of the simple joys of being a parent.
