That's ok, Maia, you're younger than my mom, and she gets around pretty well still - does her own yard work and home repairs, and does wood carvings and oil paintings. Her oldest child is her only child, and I'll be 55 this Spring. However, her self-portrait in the attic is starting to really look like crap.
He will kill me for this story but what the heck. Dom was 4 and we had gone to the pool. Raymond went in with Don and Dom came with me. The ladies were changing into suits and Dom was waiting for me he came over and said rather loudly "mom, you said women don't have beards" that's right Dan. Well those women do down there." he never came into the ladies change room again. was my face red and were their faces angry.
Ohhhh that is bad! My son was a bit older (close to 20), and not so innocent, when he said, "If Joan Rivers has one more face lify, she'll be sporting a goatee!" I really do prefer beer to go down my throat rather than out through my nose.

I was talking to one of my Chinese students (ages 17-20) at the start of class, part of the lesson. And she said in a very very shy and quiet voice something I didn't quite hear followed by this which I heard very clearly, "Can you satisfy me." I have a dirty mind, and the way she said it could be taken the wrong way. I burst out laughing. I then explained how that could be taken very badly and how to say it properly. She had only wanted to know if we could watch another movie in class.
