E: What is "shipses"?
M: Do you mean "What is a ship?"
E: No, I said shipses.
M: Do you mean like boats on the water?
E: No, I mean like that last time you burned your thumb on that hot pan. That shiptses. Remember?
M: OH.
I cannot remember the last time I burned myself. That girl has the memory of an elephant - and also I guess I had better stop burning myself.
