    had it just become an inside joke? would one of the other kids remember? like, i tend to ramble when i’m talking and lose my train of thought and go on tangents and shit. one time we were playing trivial pursuit as a family, and it was my turn to read the blue question. we were talking and laughing and forgetting to play the game, or at least i was, and then like the entire family in unison half-shouted “Cripple, blue!”

    my mother said “Cripple blew!” at family dinner the other night after i tooted and it got a big laugh. it’s been like 30 years. i fully expect it to come up at my funeral.
