A Babysitter's Chronicles: Dysfunction is awkward and hilarious.

Once upon a time,

I was babysitting Jess, and we were lounging on the living room floor playing a fierce game of Battleship. The TV was on, not for any particular reason (it was just the news channel) but it was on when I got there so I just left it. So anyway, when it wasn't her turn, Jessica was watching the TV. All of a sudden, this commercial for erectile dysfunction medicine came on.....awkward. I was purposefully ignoring it, carefully studying the game as though it were the most interesting thing I'd ever seen. But Jess was mesmerized, eyes on the TV screen. I wasn't sure what to say, so I didn't say anything (all the while fervently hoping that teaching an anatomy lesson wasn't in my near future). As it was ending, Jess suddenly says, "I have a friend who has erectile dysfun....disfunc....that."
I, of course, was speechless.....uuhhhhhm......I tried to sound nonchalant, like I wasn't choking with the awkwardness of that comment.
"Oh really? That's....uhm..."
But Jess cut me off (phew, cuz I had no idea what to say), "Yeah, that's why she can only eat salad."
She said this to me with complete and total seriousness. As I had suspected, she honestly didn't known what it meant!
Now, lemme tell ya, it was SO hard to remain composed. I didn't do a very good job. As soon as that sentence escaped her lips, all the awkwardness turned into the most ridiculous hilarity. I must've turned so red trying not to laugh, and then I finally gave up trying and busted up laughing.
Poor Jess never quite figured out what was so funny about her friend who could only eat salads due to her erectile dysfun...whatever it's called.

Best babysitting memory ever. I'm going to tell that story at her wedding. ;)
