an excellent sentence (and the resulting confusion)

Water: why did the chicken cross the road? says:
although I can't say I don't mind not being unable to cross the street!

C says:
there are a lot of negatives in that sentence ... what?


Water: why did the chicken cross the road? says:
lol. never mind!
I think it was supposed to be *able
or maybe - actually it is unable - lol - that is a lot of negatives!
(and I wasn't even trying to be confusing)


and another funny exchange I recently had with C

me: the story was about a woman with, um.... what's it called when you forget things?
C: amnesia.

:) ok, maybe my brain is on sabbatical :)

The funny part of the second exchange was really how you started cracking up as soon as you'd asked it. :)

Didn't she turn out to have Alzheimers, not amnesia, in any case?

yes indeed, you are right C.
the second part of the convo was ommited (see above re: amnesia ;) and my brain on sabbatical)

me: oh right, what's the other one called, when you're older?
C: Alzheimers?
Me: yes! that's it! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHa
ahahaha
