Scallops?
Simone's hubby cooked up scallops that he wrapped in bacon. Simone fairly salivated at the smell.
The 14 year old gave her plate a suspicious glare. "What's this?" She asked.
Duly informed, she took a few cautious bites after which she declared, "I don't like scallops wrapped in bacon."
"Why not?" Simone asked. "They're delicious and they're cooked perfectly!"
"There's a big bone in them!" Wailed the 14 year old.
Simone thought about this for a few seconds and found herself at a loss for words. "Um, what bone?" She ventured finally.
"This bone!" The 14 year old pointed, her voice seething with exasperation.
"Dear. That's a toothpick. You can take it out anytime you like."
Oh.
