“Hey mom, what did you do today?”
“I went with some friends to a quilt show, then we went to the fabric store.”
“Did you find any good fabrics?”
“Yes. While my friends and I were there, a man came in with his wife and everyone in the store noticed that he was wearing a gun under his jacket. They were all staring at him and looking worried. Then he pulled out his wallet and showed everyone his license to carry a concealed weapon.”
“Wow, that must have been a little nerve wracking.”
“Well, you know what I did then?”
“Oh God mom, you didn’t.”
“Yes, I did. I took MY wallet out and showed him MY license to carry a concealed weapon.”
“Lord, I thought you were going to tell me you whipped out your gun.”
“Kelly, don’t be ridiculous, I wouldn’t pull out a gun. I just didn’t want him to think he was the only person in the quilt store with a license to carry a gun.”
“Good grief, a show down at the quilt store. What’s next Mom?”
“Don’t get smart with me Kelly, I’m still your mother.”
“Mom, you know this conversation is going on my blog, right?”

HA! I had no idea the fabric store was so rampant with potential for gun-play!
Yes, who knew!
