Rachel and I were negotiating how we'd spend our afternoon on Sunday -- playing a game with Drew and then heading out to Great Falls -- and she was such a deft negotiator that I said, "Rachel, you're a lawyer."
"No, I'm not," she replied.
"Oh yes, you are," I said.
"No, I'm not," she said calmly. "If I were a lawyer, I'd be writing a lot. Just an observation."
And later, she added: "And I'd be an adult."
When I posted this on Facebook, one of the former newspaper editors I worked for in St. Paul, Walker Lundy, said, "You are overmatched." How right he is!
