The other day I was teaching creative writing and the kids had a zillion questions.
"What does a gun case look like?" (for a murder/mystery she was working on)
Well, I've only seen one gun case--my friend John's father mailed him a gun (which is against the law, by the way) the week John got engaged. It was aluminum and padded with yellow foam on the inside.
"What does a divan look like?"
It's basically a sofa.
"What's that sort of chair that looks like a bed?"
A fainting couch.
"What's another word for off-white?"
Ecru
After answering all of their questions, the little boy in the class looks up at me in wonder and says:
"You know what I like about you? You know everything about EVERYTHING."
Kids are so easy to please.
