Flying with the wife.
Me: Skyhawk ##1, four miles south of the field, entering left downwind runway 22.
Other Pilot: N##2 crossing mid-field. I dont see you, do you have your lights on?
ME: We are all lit.
Wife: (over the intercom) That didn’t sound right.
Me: Just to clarify, the plane is lit, not the pilot.
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:

- The pilot's wife humorously points out the unintended double meaning of the phrase "We are all lit."
- The pilot clarifies over the intercom that it's the plane that's illuminated, not the pilot.
