The conversation I just had with Will

Will: Mommy, what year were you born?

Me: 1978.

Will: (Thoughtful silence) Did they have cars back then?

Me: (Shocked silence) Did you just ask me if they had cars "back then"?

Will: (Not laughing, even though I was sure he must be joking.) Yes.

Me: OF COURSE THEY HAD CARS BACK THEN!

Will: (Ponders this for a moment.) Modern cars of today, or horse-drawn wagons?

Me: (Trying not to let the expanding pressure in my head cause a full cerebral explosion.) Modern...cars...of today... (teeth clenched.)

Will: Huh. Well, okay.

Me: (muffled crying noises.)
