The Ids Have It

During our morning walk today, Laura told me that a former classmate of hers told her an inappropriate joke.

Me: "What did she tell you?"

Laura: "I've done my best to forget it."

Me: "You don't remember anything?"

Laura: "It was so gross that the gates of my superego opened and I sent it to my id so that my ego wouldn't have to deal with it."

Me: "Okay then, I guess we must leave it at that."

Laura: "Unless it comes up in my dreams. So far, it hasn't."
