I like your answer, Larry.  You do remember correctly.

What do you mean by "actually continuous very close to x=0", though?  The unit impulse function is zero everywhere except at x=0.  The reciprocal would be undefined everywhere except at x=0.  No matter how close.

I believe you have the solution.
