Pillow Talk
by Tapati A. Sarasvati

"I told my Mom I'm dating a 37-year-old bisexual witch," my 23-year-old boyfriend confessed.

"Dave!" I yelled, "How am I ever going to face them?"

"Oh come on, " he said, "They'll like you-you'll see."

"Look," I said, "Close your eyes. Now--what comes to mind when you hear the words 'bisexual witch'?"

He started to laugh.

"Do you see what I mean? Now compare that to how simple and boring my life really is!"

"I see...I'm dating the wrong bisexual witch!"

My well aimed pillow hit him right in the forehead.
