A Real Conversation

Background: The way that Ellie says ‘girl’ sounds like ‘grill’. Apparently more than just “sounds like”.

Jason: Guess what we’re having for lunch Ellie! Grilled cheese sandwiches!

Ellie: (thinks a moment)….Is Daddy going to have a boy cheese sandwich?

Jason: (laughs) Okay, let’s talk about the word “grill”. “Grilled” means that the sandwich will be cooked. But you are a “girl“. You see? Grill. Girl.

Ellie: (thinks again)….So Daddy’s sandwich won’t be cooked? It is a boy cheese sandwich?

Jason: Right, Ellie.
