Lost in Translation

My son was watching TV at his grandparent’s house while I was at work. An advertisement comes on for a certain medication, with all of the disclaimers, including, “Not to be taken by pregnant women or nursing mothers.”

My son said, “Well, Mom can’t take that then.”

This surprised my Mother, who hadn’t been told of any impending arrivals! So she questioned a little further, and my son said, “Well, Mom’s a Mom, and she’s a nurse, so…”

Apparently, I’m still a nursing mother!
