I call this the John Wayne effect.

[Phone call to home from work. Son answers.]

Me: Hey, is your Mom around?
Son: No. She’s not here.
Me: Where is she?
Son: At a saloon.
Me: A saloon?
Son: Yea, she didn’t show up when school was out so we walked home and now I’m making the girls do their homework.
Me: Interesting…
[Wife in background]: “Would you give me the phone, please!?”

    Oh, c’mon… knowing Mrs. PI like I do, it was not entirely impossible! Although haven’t heard the word “saloon” in awhile!

    Knowing Mrs. PI like I do, I bet she was wishing she was in a saloon listening to your son.

    At least he didn’t say something like “at a crack house.” You must be raising your children well.
