Tact is not her middle name

I was talking with Mim on the way into town today, about riding and horses. She was grieving over the loss of "her horse", Pixie. The pony that she hired for a half hour walking around session at Caitlin's riding school, when she was only 3. But despite only having a half hour contact with Pixie, she has always referred to Pixie as 'her horse'.

Anyway, she asked me if I rode. I said that I used to when I was Caitlin's age, but I don't anymore. She asked why. I replied that I was too old know.

Her response: 'So you would make the horse go onto its knees?'

Thanks Mim, I said I was too old... not too fat!

Around the dinner table, we were discussing nicknames - Caitlin had Squiggy when she was little(r) and Mim had various pet terms. Caitlin asked me if I had a nickname when I was at school. I said no. Mim piped up with "yes you did. It was 'Lazy'".

Thanks Mim! I wonder where she picked that up from, Michael?????
