Overheard at the Breakfast Table

Irish Woman – How much are the Paul McCartney tickets?

Me – I don’t want to talk about it.  It’s too much.  We have a lot of places to spend that money.  We have yard work we need to buy stuff for.  We have stuff in the house we have to pay for.  We have private school to pay for.  We have Boo’s birthday party to pay for.  We have a 16th birthday party we have to save up for, and I just learned that I have to get a stripper for that.

Girlie Bear – What?  Stripper?

Irish Woman – Don’t worry.  It’ll be a Doctor Who stripper, so it’ll fit in with your party.

Me – Yeah, she’ll look like David Tennant until she takes her top off.

Girlie Bear – Twitch.  Wibble. Tears.

Me – Oh good, we broke the teenager!

    You do realize that every morning during her honeymoon, Girlie Bear is going to blame you . . . don’t you?

    So… should I start sending you dates of upcoming scifi cons in the area? Such as… oh… the one that I help run in Nashville in June?
