Let me spell it out for you, okay?


Little B and Simone walked to the store to get a treat. As he stood in line with Mom, sipping on his pink slushy, a well intentioned matronly woman approached the little guy.

"Hi, Cutie," she said. "Do you know what I'm drinking?"

Little B stared at her, stone-faced. He slurped on his slushy. "No," he admitted at last.

"I'm drinking a milkshake," said the red-haired woman. She smiled and eyed the cashier but the line wasn't moving forward. "Can you say 'milkshake'?"

Little B took another sip. "Milkshake," said little B.

"Very good!" Enthused the matron.

Little B nodded, accepting the compliment.

"I'm drinking a slushy," he told her. "Can YOU say 'slushy'?"
