The Mundane One and I over Lunch.

me: you should have seen the boy on the balance beam this morning, he was really going..so fast, he was flying like a bat in the wind

hubby: bat in the wind?
( I always get those “old sayings”/metaphors/assimilies wrong since I grew up with a deaf father, who heard them wrong all his life and passed them onto me, so i knew I said it wrong by his question)

me: ya, you know. like really fast.. I guess that one is wrong too right?

hubby: uh YA.. you’ve been saying that for months now, and I keep trying to ask you what the hell…

me: ya. i dunno. i got that one from my dad I guess…. bat out of hell then right?

hubby: ya I guess that would work

me: whatever, he was going really jam fast!

hubby: jam? what is THAT?

me: giggle.. ya. I dunno, just came out, meant to say damn.. but…

hubby: jam tho?

me: YA… I’m trying to curse less for fuck’s sake ok? so, I said JAM instead of DAMN

hubby: (laughing) so.. ok.. how’s that working for ya so far?

me: really fuckin’ great!

hubby: ( shakes head and laughs at me in the knowing.. you’re hopeless, but I love ya anyway look)
