Mom: There’s a typo in your blog.
Me: I have like five hundred blog posts. Sometimes I make typos.
Mom: Also the first Thanksgiving wasn’t in Virginia.
Me: Well we were talking about Virginia last night I don’t know. That’s not really the point of the post.
Mom: But as a writer that’s your job. To get things right.
Me: Sorry! I’m not perfect!
Dad (quietly, from another room): But why not?
