I have a student that we'll call Kayla.
Kayla's mom (Kelly) works for my wife.
Kayla is a very talented singer (despite being totally deaf in one ear and losing her hearing in the other, seriously).
Kayla's mom was talking to my wife about how Kayla was going to sing in our school-wide talent show.
My wife tells me "Kelly says that Kayla is going to sing something pretty non-traditional at the talent show. Kelly told me what it was but I can't remember. It's like 'Creep' by Radiohead or something close. "
So the talent show was yesterday. I was there. Kayla sings "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons.
I texted my wife
"you weren't close at all"
