Another Holiday Excerpt

Overheard telephone conversation between Liv and her Great-Grandmother yesterday:

"I am so surprised that you're still alive!

[pause]

No, really. I just can't believe that you're still alive!"

Nice!

Is this your grandmother or Spector's? My guess is yours.

I hope she rolled with the fact that Livy is only 8 and a product of Spector....

It actually was Spector's. And thankfully she saw the humor in it for the very reasons you state.

I guess it's better Liv learn the "keep it to yourself" lesson with a relative rather than some stranger in the grocery store. Although, come to think of it, that backfired on me when I was little. I learned my lesson the hard way when I discovered that my dad's name rhymed with F*** and decided to declare that at the dinner table. Let's put it this way - soap does not taste good.

That is comedy gold! Did they use Life Boy soap?

anna said...

Nope, not Life Boy. It was white and rather large and hard to fit in my mouth.

Where's Spector when you need him?
