I'm chortling over my witty FB comeback.

A Repug relative posted:

(I can just picture her sputtering indignation as she wonders what came over me; I don't usually engage the crazies)

If I were REALLY brave, and wanted to explain how they reproduced, I'd remind her that Pence has been his ----- from day one.

Asked about the dinosaurs. They are way more interesting. And a conundrum for the Ark theory.
Great comeback by you.
So either she accepts that Noah put roaches on the Ark or else she does not ** really** believe in the Ark story.
