A Conversation
Mom: I’m so tired I think I could just fall asleep. Like I have narcolepsy or something.
Sydney and I: [appalled] Narcolepsy?
Mom: Yeah, you know, where you just always fall asleep.
Me: Oh, yeah, I guess I was thinking of that other thing.
Syd: What other thing?
Mom: Oh, you mean, where you have sex with dead people?
Me: Yeah, what’s that called?
Mom: It starts with an N.
Me: Nar…something. No, neo…something.
Sydney: Nec…
Me: Necrophilia! That’s it!
Little Life Lesson #24: It’s probably not wise to shout “Necrophilia! That’s it!” while standing on your front lawn as the little children playing next door will surely hear and their parents will give you evil looks.
