• We should get our act together and take it on the road.

  Mom (to kid gettng ready to make sandwich):  While you have the cheese out, slice some off for me and I’ll make nachos,
  Kid:  Is one slice enough?
  Mom:  If it’s thick enough.
  Mom:  (later, looking at chunk of cheese) When I said, “thick,” I was thinking something about half this thick.
  Kid:  (with mocking emphasis) That would be a THIN slice.
  Mom:  No, a “THIN” slice would be one I could read through.
  Kid:  You can’t read through cheese.
  Mom:  You can if it’s sliced thin enough.
  Kid:  …or if it’s Swiss and you move it around enough.
