The legend of John Irwin

So Amanda, Lee and I were driving home from dinner last night. We had just eaten with some girls from the paper (Tulsa World). During dinner, one of them told us she had a 21-year-old son. I was surprised her son was this old, as this woman seemed to be around my age. So as the three of us DT ladies were in the car discussing this, Lee dropped a bombshell: She said calmly that *she* had a 32-year-old son. Amanda and I were stunned. I started peppering Lee with questions:

Where does he live? (San Diego, California)
What's his name? (John, after his great-grandfather)
What's his last name? (Irwin)
Does he see his father? (no)
Were you married? (no)
Are you a widow? (no)
What does his father do? (I don't know)

I dropped that line of questoning.

I next asked what John looked like, if he had Lee's blue eyes (since Amanda is single, after all). That's when Lee informed us how gullible we girls were. We just had few moments of cracking up after that one.

Good one, Lee!
