The Big D

Allison: Mommy, how do people get un-married when they’re married?
Me: Yeah. That’s hard. It’s called divorce. Have you ever heard of anyone getting divorced?
Allison: No.
Me: Well, it’s when …
Allison: You dump somebody?
Me: Um, yes.
Allison: But doesn’t that hurt their feelings?
Me: Yes.
Allison: Well, I’ve heard of someone getting dumped.
Me: Who was that?
Allison: Jake Ryan.
Me (thinking of Sixteen Candles): Who??
Allison: Jake Ryan. He’s on Hannah Montana, that we used to watch.
