Bend

We were telling Jun that her Grandpa and cousin were going to be in Bend next week right about the same time for Dr. appointments. She looked at me sternly and said, "Mama! Don't say 'Bend!'" I innocently asked, "Why not?" "Because, Mama, Bend and HELL are the SAME!" I really tried to keep a straight face as she was so serious. I tried to question her logic calmly, but finally I just gave up and laughed and laughed. Then I asked about the connection. "Mama, 'Bend' and 'hell' BOTH have an 'e' in them!" Well, now you know why Bend and HELL are the same! For anyone reading who lives in or loves Bend, OR...sorry!
