not long after waking up:
my mom: "would you like a fresh snickerdoodle?"
me: "sure."
my mom: "i will bring two, they are tiny. i burnt a whole batch when the horses got loose."
me: "...excuse me?"
my mom: "when the horses got loose. they were running in the yard."
me: "..."
my mom: "a tree limb fell on the fence and they got out again."
me: "we don't have horses!"
my mom: "they were the neighbors." [meaning a random house a few miles down the road]
me: "did you herd them?"
my mom: "kind of the sheriff pretty much had them rounded up."
me: "oh...well good...i guess"
sometimes it really feels like i live in the old west.
