  • If I could turn back time

    You know that thing where you say something, but then immediately
    wish you'd said something else, something funnier? It happens to me often.
    Usually it's because my mind didn't work quickly enough. Sometimes,
    though, saying the right thing just feels too risky. Here's an
    exchange that took place at the Bible study that I host, during the
    quiet moments when everyone was studying Scripture by themselves.


    What I actually said:

    Asa (sorting through my pens): You have a lot of pink pens.
    Mark: Well, they were presents. Or maybe I just found them were lying around outside.


    What I should have said:

    Asa (sorting through my pens): You have a lot of pink pens.
    Mark: That's because I'm gay.
