Standing outside Bewitched with my mother...
Mom: "Did you have a relaxing morning?"
Me: "Eh. Not really. I've been coding since I rolled out of bed."
Mom: "Coating? Coating what?"
Me: "Coding, not coating. Um, some Web site stuff. And writing some SQL for work."
Mom: "You're writing a sequel?! To what?"
Me: (... long pause, not quite sure what to say ...)
Mom: (... looks very confused. A sequel? I can see her cogs turning ...)
Me: (abruptly) "Oh look! The theater is cleaned out! Let's go pick out our seats!"
::sighs:: I just ... oh ... never mind.
