After attending last night's vigil for the victims of last year's Pulse night club shooting, a discussion about marriage equality came up...
Me: "...and that's why everyone should be allowed to marry the person they love."
Eamon: "Yeah, and people can marry tortoises too if they want!"
Me: "NO! No, we are not having that discussion again! Tortoises - and pigs - are not part of the marriage equality discussion. We are talking about one consenting adult HUMAN marrying another consenting adult HUMAN. Got it?"
Eamon: <grinning sheepishly> "Yeah. But what did you mean that we're not having that discussion again?"
Me: "Because we had this same discussion several years ago and you argued passionately in favor of people marrying pigs if they wanted to because pigs are really smart."
Eamon: "I did?"
Me: "Yes, I even wrote a blog post about it."
Eamon: "Of course you did.
