I was putting stuff away in the refrigerator after dinner, my head stuck inside and I thought my mom asked me to hand her the mortuary salt. At which point I freeze, then turn to look at her with a WTF expression.

Mom: What?

Me: Did you say give you the MORTUARY salt?

Mom: *laughs* Celery salt!

Me: *relieved*

Mom (who has recently returned to histology after 20+ years out of the field): I had to go to the morgue last week.

Me: Fun!

Mom: There wasn't a body, just a bag of legs.

Me: ...

Dad: *stops eating dinner* ...

Mom: I was afraid there would be a body and my coworker said there was one, but it was in the freezer and the only thing out was a bag of amputated legs.

Me: ...I think I'd rather see the body.

Dad: Me. Too.

Mom: Yeah.

Me: This is going in my Livejournal tonight.

Mom: *laughs*
