Backstory: This was in response to an e-mail I sent her that had funny clippings from newspapers. The one we’re referring to said, “Police receive a report of a newborn infant found in a trash can. Upon investigation, officers discover it was only a burrito.”

Me: My favorite is the one about the baby found in the trash can that turned out to be a burrito.
Mom: You looked a lot like a burrito when you were a baby. A really cute burrito, though.
Me: what kind of burrito? Was I like a comforting bean and cheese burrito, a salty fried carne asada burrito, or a disappointing machaca burrito?
Mom: Oh, I’m sorry. I mis-spoke. Or mis-typed.
It was your DIAPER that looked like a cute burrito. YOU looked like an adorable monkey.
Don’t ask me what type of monkey besides being a lovable monkey. xoxo
