an amusing anecdote (taken from an email to a.)

So the other night at the Creative Memories workshop I had about four women over, including mom B. We spent most of the night in the kitchen around the table. Afterwards, mom B. stuck around for awhile, sitting on the couch with j. in the living room. At some point she was looking up at the wall and commenting on the pictures hanging there. Then her eyes shifted to the white board we have up on the wall where j. writes his “goals” for the day. she started reading some of the things out loud and suddenly j. jumped up in a panic at the same time that I called out “No!” Written under Monday’s Goals was “Sex” with a box next to it! I’d written it there jokingly on Monday and forgotten to A) erase it, and B) check the box. j. erased it really quickly but his mom was so confused that j. said “It said sex!"

she laughed so hard she cried.
