Quick Bite: If I Had to Choose

Anyu and I were talking one day after finding out that a friend from church lost her daughter in a tragic train accident.

My mother was discussing some of the funeral details, and then she looked right at me and said, "You know, it would be just terrible to lose a daughter like dat. But I mean, it would be even vorse to lose a sister. I mean, if I had to choose..."

"Anyu, don't even think about finishing that sentence."

"Vhat? I'm just saying...I've had my sister my whole life!"

I'll have to remember not to call my mom the next time I am dangling precariously off a cliff. Sheesh.
