A recent conversation in the car:
Ethan: “Wow. That sky looks gorgeous!”
Charlie: “Ethan, you said the S word. That’s a bad word.”
Ethan: “Sky is not a bad word.”
Charlie: “Not that one. The other S word. Gorgeous.”
Ethan: “Charlie, gorgeous does not start with S. It starts with G.”
Charlie: “Well, it’s still a bad word.”
Ethan [definitely losing patience]: “No, it’s not Charlie.”
[a pause of silence for about five seconds....]
Charlie: “Well, it’s kind of a girly word, so you really shouldn’t say it.”
