I undertand the gravity of my lie. But we can't live together any more. So I'm going to try to live my own life here or elsewhere. When I'm a man, I'll return and we'll discuss everything.

They had idiot, err, freedom fries on the menu. My sister was in a near-panic, as this was a restaurant at which she had previously worked, and she knew the owners, the staff, and pretty near every patron in the place at the time.
But the cootie gras (as I'm sure it would be spelled in Alabama) came when my sister revealed that SHE was, in fact, responsible for the renaming of the french fries on the menu. She said she had thought it was "cute".
I stared at her dumbfounded, picked my jaw up off the floor, reminded myself that I love her and she's my sister, and ordered tots.
I love the South, but there are some times when its residents make me shake my liberal head with wonder at the sheer stupidity of their ways.
Yeah, I bash the French all the time, and for those who don't know me, the above rant may seem hypocritical. My wife was of half-French ancestry. It was a running joke with us. I don't hate France or the people who live there.
