Write to me

In a conversation this evening I was reminded of an episode from high school. There was a football coach who liked to say things and/or make jokes just to get a rise out of people. Some were clean, some were crude, and most were somewhere in the middle.

He took to calling my teacher-mother, Mary, "Virgin Mary." She found it a little stupid, but didn't want to get too much humorless bitch cred with her fellow teachers, so she never complained.

But one day he said it in front of me. I looked at him and said, "I'm living proof she isn't."

Left him speechless.

By the way, if you haven't already read Bev's account of Shelly and Ellen's wedding, please do. I've followed their story through Bev's journal for a lot of years now, and I could not be more pleased for them.
