How family phrases are born
I was talking with my mother about her election ballot Sunday morning.
She asked what all was on it this time around. I characterized some of the races, propositions and what have you. One of the election categories I mentioned was "judges."
But she misheard me. She thought I had said "dredging."
Years from now, when asked by someone in my family about an upcoming election, I hope I remember to say that it's mostly about dredging.
