that thing... you know, that does the thing?

When Elisabeth can't remember the name of something, she describes it until we understand what she means. For example, here are two that she fairly frequently can't remember:
  • "dessert" - we have no idea why she can't remember this word. but it is now known as "you know, that thing that we don't eat for dinner?"
  • "arcade" - "that place that we went near the hotel when you took the mean exam*, with the games in it."

so 10 Erica points if you can guess what she meant last night, when she wanted dessert, when she wanted this:

"that thing that we had before with the tube and it had the juicy part after the crunchy part." It took us about 5 minutes of quizzing her to figure out what it was and I'm still chuckling over it. I'll give you a clue - it isn't Go-gurts. Answer tomorrow.

* on multiple occassions I said "oooooh this exam is just MEAN!" so the bar exam is now aptly known as the "mean exam."

That's how I always think of them... first there's the crunch part, then the ice melts and it's juicy!!
