(My mother is sitting at a local breakfast restaurant with my stepfather and his mother. They have been discussing the ethics of human cloning, and my mom isn’t in favor of it. My grandmother is a religious woman, and has been giving my mom a rather stony glare.)
Mom: “What’s wrong?”
Grandmother: “How could you be so mean?”
Mom: *confused* “Mean? Mean about what?”
(My grandmother lets out a huff.)
Grandmother: “I just don’t understand it! What is it that makes you hate clowns so much?”
