Last week, Meg and I

Last week, Meg and I were watching parts 1 & 2 of Queen Victoria’s Empire when an interview with author Jan Morris came on. The ensuing conversation went something like this:

Me: Is that a woman or a man?

Meg: It’s a man.

Me: No, it’s not. That’s a woman.

Meg: Is not.

Me: Is too.

Meg: Not.

Me: Too!

Meg: Stupid!

Me: I hate you!

Google: Guys, guys, stop fighting. Turns out you were both right. James Morris had a sex change operation in 1972 and became Jan Morris.

Me: I love you, Google.

Meg: Me too.
