Tuesday night funny

A funny story from tonight---

 

We were eating supper when Andrew asked for me to pass him the scissors so he could cut the "diagraph" off of his water bottle label.  When I asked what a diagraph was, he pointed out the "-ng" on the end of the  "drinkiNG water" on his bottle.  Still confused, Savannah & I asked again "What is a diagraph?".  He couldn't explain, but just knew this -ng was one.  While I was getting the scissors, I asked if he could tell me which of his teachers had taught him about diagraphs & asked again about what it was.

 

Samuel then pipes up & says "It's the thing inside your body---YOU KNOW....the DIAGRAPH inside the solar system in your body" (as if that was the dumbest question in the world!).

 

Now thoroughly tickled (& further confused!), I asked him (Samuel) where in the "solar system" of our bodies you'd find a diagraph.  Savannah is rolling in laughter & asked if he knew what the solar system is.  Samuel said, "Of course I do!  It's the bones that hold your body together!".

 

While Savannah peeled herself off the floor (where she was rolling around laughing), I told him that your skeleton holds your body together---not a solar system, and that we have a diaphragm inside our bodies, not a diagraph.  After hearing all that, he gave a shrug & began to laugh with us.

 

I still don't know what a diagraph is.  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Bueller?  (sorry...I had to say it!)
