a verbatim conversation between my wife and niece, who calls me 'Teeb'.
(this becomes important later)
wife (to niece): you are so beautiful! do you know how beautiful you are?
niece (pauses, smiles): Yes.
wife: is there anyone as beautiful as you are?
niece: Yes.
wife (taken aback): who?
niece (loudly): TEEB!
Hah!
How about them apples Tatum!
what can I say?!? -- that's high praise, even from someone who eats Vaseline.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, my guess is that you were *not* wearing that shirt when she said it.
