This is a history (10 years old) story, but WAY funny! I was thinking about it this morning....
I worked in a dentist's office and while waiting for my patient I was sort of leaning on the secretary's counter, shooting the breeze to pass the time. In order to get a clear picture of this event, picture the secretary: very tall and thin, fluffy big 80's hair, blue eyeshadow, and a high-pitched whiny Southern drawl. She's a very sweet woman, but honestly, that cat ain't got all her kittens....
So while chatting it up at the counter, she says "So, what are y'all's plans for the weekend?" I said "The girls and I are going to see Don Giovanni", which was playing in the next town. She was absolutely quite for AT LEAST a minute, then finally said "Now, WHO'S he, again?"
Another Don Giovanni funny: at the end of the opera, at Don Giovanni's destruction, Emily (who was four at the time) said "That's what he gets for having too many girlfriends!"

The Daily Pet Peeve
Ok, my fellow humans, listen up!
SEX is biologically assigned and has to do with which baby-making mechanisms with which you're born.
GENDER is sociologically assigned and has to do with whether you present yourself to the world as a man or a women (in this society we mostly only recognize TWO genders, while some others have three or four).
It is impossible to predict GENDER by looking at a sonogram, having an amniocentesis or looking at a person's genitals. EACH PERSON chooses his/her own gender, with the exception of the crazy obsession in the first two years in our society of forcing it upon a person by the sickening light blue or pink attire.
So there.

This morning I got up, checked my email, and found that a woman who had bought fabric from me back on the 30th had finally paid me Saturday. Surprise!!!!! And then she also emailed me this morning at 3:11 am wondering if I had shipped her package!
"Hi Jacki~
