Words can be confusing

We've been focusing on language skills today.

Chris' mom is visiting. She has highlights in her hair. Nathan said, "Grandma, why do you have brown and red parts in your hair?" She said, "Because they put bleach in it and that's what color it turned." Ammon said, "Weren't you afraid they'd suck your blood?" Um...

"Not leach, Ammon. Bleach." Oh.

Sarah saw the Tasmanian Devil on a truck's "mud slaps." (Also called mud flaps.)

We passed a hospital and Chris' mom asked if we have Kaiser in Utah. (A common medical insurance in California and Hawaii.) Sarah piped up and said, "No. Those are only in Yellowstone."

"Not geyser, Sarah. Kaiser." Oh.

While eating at a Chinese restaurant, Nathan asked if he could eat with pork chops. He didn't ask if he could eat pork chops; he asked if he could eat with pork chops. I don't know what they call them in China, but here in America, we usually call them chopsticks.

We were playing Go Fish with some really cool cards featuring real fish found around Hawaii. Nathan said, "Dad, do you have any piney-porn fish?"

"Not piney-porn, Nathan. Porcupine." Oh.

Bethie kept asking if she could have more Star Wars candy. It's delicious. It's also called Starburst.

Well, that's all.
