camwynMOM: We saw Sister Marybeth* the other day. She's got a new outreach program going.
DAD: She asked how you were doing. We told her, and we said you were learning to fly helicopters.
MOM: She laughed, and she said, "That sounds about right."
DAD: And we saw Sister Patricia**, too. She asked how you were.
MOM: I told her you were doing okay, and that you were learning to fly helicopters.
MOM: And she laughed, and she said, "How is that different from her drawing stealth bombers on her entrance exams?"
ME: They weren't stealth bombers, they were high speed biplanes!
... so, um, the point is, it's nice to see some things about me don't surprise people.
