Recent conversation with Brenda.

Brenda: My aunt just had a birthday. She's 94.

me: What's her name, Aunt Tique?

Brenda: No, Aunt Sybil. And don't let her hear you call her that. She's pretty feisty.

me: I think I could take her. Maybe when she's napping.

Brenda: She claims that she boxed when she was younger. Beat a few boys up 'cause they were afraid to hit a girl.

Brenda: You or her?

me: Her. I'll hit her in the locker room with a pipe.
