A conversation with my copyeditor

Him: How did you want this sentence to read?

Him: We has our expert to 30 blush-worthy questions so you don't have to.

Me: Whoa. Um, I had a late night.

Him: I just snorted, in fact, when I heard you laugh.

Me: Hang on...I can't stop laughing.

Him: Want the 1st sentence?

Me: Yes.

Him: Got a problem you're too embarrassed to ask your doctor about? We has our expert to 30 blush-worthy questions so you don't have to.

Me: Okay...

Him: I just had to stand up and look at you while you cracked up.

Me: I'm crying.

Him: I needed this today.

Me: We asked our experts to answer 30 blush-worthy questions so you don't have to.

Me: How could you not know that's what I meant? ;)

Him: Well, it was just one of the many guesses I had. My other guess was this: We'd haves or experts to 30 blorsh-wolly question so you have to.
