Out of Order

"Hi Honey."

"Hi Mom," I say.

"My phone isn't working."

"But, Mom," I say, "you just called me."

"Of course I just called you," she says with impatient exasperation. "I called to tell you my phone isn't working."

"But, Mom," I say, "you and I are talking on the phone right now. Right?"

Silence.

"Nevermind."

Dear Erin,

Thank you for sharing your new word with me. I solemnly promise to you that clitorides will be always used to the fullest of my abilites, consequences be damned!

Sincerely,
