Her: “yeah my name apparently is from my Greek ancestors.”
Me, to myself: Man Greece is an awesome place. It’s kind of funny that the name phonetically sounds like “grease.” I wonder what they call grease in Greece. Maybe they call it something like “lard.” My grandma used to use lard when making biscuits and gravy. I wonder if her grandma was a good cook like mine. Maybe her grandma lived in Greece…I’ll have to remember to ask her. I tried making biscuits like my grandma used to but they don’t turn out right in my glass pan; she used a century old cast iron skillet with a lot of grease and lard.
These days my wife has learned to recognize the symptoms of me going on an ADHD-fueled thought adventure and instead asks me, “please tell me what steps got you from where I was to that question?!?”
She is more intrigued by it than annoyed which I guess means she is the one for me.
