After Panagiota and I got back from brunch, I was jonesin' for a nice round of PlayStation football to help celebrate the
Saints' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last week (no hard feelings, Young). Anyway, I didn't really want to play by myself (insert obvious joke here: ____), and since neither Raph nor Eric were around, I thought I'd try to convince Pegs to "suit up" and play with me. Pegs looked at me with a deadly expression in her eye and said, with all sincerity, "I'm not starting that bag of worms." I must have blacked out from laughing so hard, because when I came to in the hospital I had a wicked headache and an oxygen mask on my face. Pegs, afraid that I had finally lost it, asked me what was so funny. When I explained to her what she had said vis-a-vis the real expression, she looked really scared. "Oh, no!" she said. "I'm turning into your mother!"

he's lying mom, i never said that.
Mom, in case you were wondering, the expression that Pegs was trying to use was "opening up a can of worms." I have no idea where "starting" and "bag" came from there (letting the cat out of the bag, maybe?), but damn, you had Ariel doubled over. When it comes to making people laugh, as Pegs would say, "It looks like the teacher has become the master."
