We’re driving in the car and YoungerChild is examining a
loonie she found on the ground. “Hey
mom, this loonie is from 1987!” so I respond “Oh! That’s mine!
I dropped a 1987 loonie… on the ground… at your school… last week…” and
she actually handed it over to my outstretched hand! Hardly a beat passed before she realized she’d
been tricked and demanded I return her dollar.
So her father takes advantage of the situation and tells her “Did you
know that if you say “oranges” slowly enough, it sounds like “gullible””. YoungerChild spent the next several minutes repeatedly
trying to say “oranges” as slowly as possible as we encouraged her “Slower! That’s still too fast!” …
“ooooorrrrrrraaaaaaaaannnnnnnngggggigglegigglegigglegiggle”
she figured it out.
