Hopefully she’s also saving up for our nursing home expenses

  • CHICK: How many are you going to be on your birthday?
  • ME: 32.
  • CHICK: Okay.  Then I’m going to get you two things.  I’m going to get you a rocking chair and some vitamins.  Some grown-up vitamins.  Not like the dinosaur-shaped ones.

And then a few days ago, we were watching “Piglet’s Big Movie,” which has scenes of Carly Simon singing during the credits.

  • CHICK: Wow, that man looks like a lady.
  • ME: That is a lady.
  • CHICK: No it’s not, it’s a man.
  • ME: I promise you, that’s a lady.  Her name is Carly Simon.  Like your Aunt Carly.
  • CHICK: No it’s not, it’s a man.
  • ME: Chick…  It’s a lady.
  • CHICK: Trust me, Mom.  It’s a man.
