19 something

I was talking about our future trip to New Mexico with the girl. There was some conversation about traveling to Carlsbad Caverns and Roswell to see the bat flight and the aliens so I relayed it to the girl. She was curious as to what the bat flight out was. I explained that it was when all the bats fly out of the cave at the same time. Moving on,

"to see the aliens????"
"yeah, Roswell, you know.... where the aliens are?"
"never heard of Roswell...."
(Her dad is a HUGE Alien conspiracy theorist) "you know, Roswell, where the aliens landed like in 19......63? you know, Roswell! (note that I'm not the alien-interested person)
"never heard of Roswell and probably because it happened, in, like, a million years ago, in, like, 19 something"



I relayed this to my hubby today. He didn't find the humor in the fact that I said "landed" vs. "crashed" and "1963" v "1947".


I stand corrected.
