I stopped all surrounding talk and laughter DEAD in its tracks. :-) Guess I'm a dead shot, heh heh.
I didn't realize what I'd said, and just looked at everyone like there was something wrong with THEM. :-)
Oh, do behave! : }
My mother-in-law was visiting a couple summers when a neighbor friend had come over to help me with some landscape stuff. (see how I do landscaping on my about page) He dug up the clematis and my MIL was finding a new spot in the new garden.
After a while Jim, my neighbor yell over "How's that clematis of yours, Nana?"
My wife turned beet red, I dropped my beer, my neighbor started rolling in laughter and my Nana, who doesn't drink, decided it was time for a glass of wine.
The joke has been running for years now. Last summer, Jim gave Nana a nice potted clematis as a gift.
