Last night I went to a basketball game with my sister and nephews, age 15 and 10. On the way home in the minivan, we overheard this conversation between the boys:
Younger nephew: Auntie DDD is the cool, sexy aunt.
Older Nephew: She's kinda like Nancy Botwin on Weeds.
Younger nephew: You mean cause she's killed someone and had a drug dealer boyfriend?
Older nephew: Awesome.
Me and my sister: WHAT?!!!
They patiently reminded me I was in a car that struck a drunken pedestrian who later died, which is ALMOST like killing someone. And I dated a guy who took drugs, which means he bought them from a drug dealer, which is ALMOST like having a drug dealer for a boyfriend.
Not quite the legacy I had in mind.

ReplyDeleteCatharine: You're so cool it hurts.
ReplyDeleteYay! You are the only person who thinks so. :p
