Yesterday, my mother-in-law was having a telephone conversation with her sister, "Midge." Mom was telling Midge, a retired Episcopalian priest, what was new in our neck of the woods. My wife came up in conversation. Mom noted, "(Mish-mash mousse) is taking some courses at Mt. Martha College* to work toward graduate credits with her teaching certificate."
Midge was impressed. "Wow, that's great. I'm really proud of her. I'm glad she has the balls to do that."
Mom paused, somewhat stunned, and said, "Um, actually, no, she doesn't!"
Now, THAT'S taking things literal!
*Name of college changed. Just 'cause I felt like it.
