HUMOR: Aliens in Our Midst

A friend's email reminded of a misunderstanding that happened a few years ago when one of my many nieces was young. I thought some of you would find it amusing.

My sister was talking to my ex (who was still my wife at the time). They were discussing her immigration status. My ex told my sister she was a "Permanent Resident Alien".

My niece looked real surprised and exclaimed, "Aunt *** is an alien!"

We are all told her yes.

Then she sputtered, "But she doesn't look like E.T. or anything!"
