Compliment or Burn? You Tell Me.

While on my way to school last week, I called Berkeley to day hello. This is a bit of the conversation that followed:

Annie: "I keep driving the wrong way. I just can't think straight right now."

Berk: "Well, at least you're a beautiful retard."

Hmmm...I said thank you because in my mind I heard the word beautiful, but in response to my thanks, Berkeley laughed out loud, so I think his emphasis was on the retard part.

Oh well.
