At my parents' house:
Me: Is there anything to eat? What did y'all have for lunch?
Mom: We sort of had ham sandwiches.
Me: Is there any ham left?
Mom: No, it was smoked turkey.
Me: (cracking up)......so you had turkey sandwiches.......
Mom: That was the 'sort of' part.
I've been blessed with 'The Mom Disease' as we term it in my family. There's a word for losing word recall abilities, but of course I can't remember it now.
Did you ever see the Simpsons episode where due to a tape mixup Homer 'smartens up' by listening to vocabulary tapes, instead of the weight loss tapes he had ordered. And then when he stops using them because he hasn't lost weight, he reverts back to his previous idiocy.
Homer: I need a thing to eat the ice cream...
Lisa: A spoon, dad?
Homer: That's it!
Sigh. I feel like a skinnier Homer on my bad days.
