Open mouth....insert foot!

Okay, so, the other day (actually it was a couple of weeks ago), Eric and I were in the kitchen and he was slicing some cheese for himself to make nachos. He was having a hard time cutting it, so he asked me if I would do it for him. This is how the conversation went:

Eric: Mom, will you slice some cheese for me?
Me: (Lazily) Yea.....I'll do it.
Eric: How do you cut it so perfectly? I can't get the slices that good.
Me: Eric, do you know how old I am? I've been cutting cheese for a long time.
Eric: (slight pause in response, and with a big smile on his face) Mom, that sounds really funny. This is what you just said, "I've been cuttin' cheese for a long time."

Like I said, "Open mouth, insert foot!"

(It was actually really funny and we got a good laugh out of it). Never a dull moment! :)
