My mom has been married several times. I'm not going into the details of it here because that is her private business and not my story to tell. All you need to know of the back story for this post is that I've had multiple dads.
Peabody on Sandwiches
The other day, while in the company of my dearest Peabody, the conversation turned to sandwiches . . .
Peabody: Why is it spelled S-A-N-D-W-I-C-H when it’s pronounced "sammich"?
Me: Because they were invented by the Earl of Sandwich who spelled his last name like that.
Several seconds pass . . .
Peabody (under her breath): Well, I bet his friends called him Sammich.
A couple months ago I sat in my friend Peabody's kitchen while she made us dinner, discussing a blogger whose husband and kids had taken a philanthropic trip to help needy people. Peabody mentioned having been inspired by them and nonchalantly announced, "I bought a couple kids on the Internet today."
Stunned, and attempting to formulate an appropriate response, I sat there silently as she continued, "I had such terrible buyer's remorse that I had to go to Target and buy a shirt."
We're watching you.
