When my friend Lakshmi said she was expecting, I asked, “Do you know the baby’s sex?”
“Yes,” she replied, “but we’ve decided not to announce it now.”
“Can I take a guess?”
“Sure, go ahead.”
“Is it a girl?”
“Oh no,” she replied. “You’re way off.”
My grand mother was famous for her quick wit. Once at a family event, my sister’s date asked if she could bring her a drink. “Yes, A Whisky,” grand mother said.
“Okay, but you can’t be our designated driver,” the young man joked.
“Oh, I don’t drive. Never did.”
“Why is that?” he asked.
“If you drink, you shouldn’t drive. So I made only sensible choice.’
“Yes,” she replied, “but we’ve decided not to announce it now.”
“Can I take a guess?”
“Sure, go ahead.”
