Meryl Streep is not dead

I'm not seeing Mamma Mia today, even though a friend called and asked me to come.  There's a concert today at the Capitol and I'm going to that instead.  The things I do for live music.

About thirty seconds after my friend hung up I got a call from her boyfriend.

"Lena," he said.  "I could have sworn Meryl Streep was dead, but she's in Mamma Mia."

"What?" I said.  "She's not dead."

"Really?  I thought she was dead."

"No."

"I thought she was like eighty and had died a long time ago."

"No, she's only fifty nine."

"Oh."  He might have said something after this but I was giggling too hard to hear it.  "Well thanks for straightening me out."

"No problem.  Thanks for making my day."
