Confabulation

Submitted by Antoinette Sisco on Thu, 07/16/2009 - 11:40am.

When I was in fifth grade (or so) my Mother asked me why I did something.  I responded “I though …. “ She asked me “Who is paying you to think?”  I responded “You are paying all of that money to send me to a Christian school, so you are really paying me to think.”   I had won that argument!  My Mother just walked away from me at that point.   I do not remember the preceding or the antecedents, but I remember that confabulation.
