This is What You're Missing, Folks

So I'm walking through the grocery store with my mom.

She's looking through the huge pile of sweet potatoes. She asks me if I can find a small one. So I do.

She says she loves them. I say I really can't stand them. She says she doesn't understand that.

I say, "Well, I yam what I yam."

[sound of crickets]

"Wow," I say, "Nothing? This is a tough room."

And then she gets it. And groans.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.
