Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said "what's that?" I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded "OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words". The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.

Had a neighbor who thought bunnies laid eggs. I guess because of the whole Easter Bunny thing.

I sometimes mess with my kids by informing them that women, human women, kind of lay eggs too. Just not to the point that the eggs come out before they hatch.

I've been trying to convince my kids that bunnies lay eggs for years now, they don't believe me.

Good luck with that.

Is is because they're 32 and don't want to visit you at the nursing home anymore
