Loved this one:
ME: mom, I talked to an agent today who specializes in just parts. She liked my hands and wants to send me on go-sees!
MOM: That would be great if you could start doing hand jobs!
ME: mom, in the business, I think they call it “hand work”
MOM: oh. that’s a much better name for it.
It just reminded me of all the times my parents would ask one of us to “toss the salad” and we would snicker and they would get mad that we wouldn’t tell them what was funny.
