Dovetailing On An Explanation
(My sister is driving. We stop at a red light near a sign for a restaurant with loopy cursive writing and a pig with a frying pan.)
Me: “Oh, Famous Dave’s BBQ. For a second I thought that said “Famous Doves” but that name didn’t make any sense for a pork place.”
Sister: *teasing me*: “Yes, it does. They served BBQed doves. They’re delicious.”
Me: “Right.”
Sister: “They’re burnt offerings. Burnt peace offerings!”
Me: *laughing* “That’s so wrong.”
Sister: “Hey, if you’re going to misread signs, I’m going to run with it until I create an explanation that makes sense.”
