That Reminds Me, I Need To Get More Capitaine Crounche!

This story reminded me of my very similar experience, also on a road trip, funnily enough. This story takes place in the USA, but we’re all from Canada. To break the monotony of a long stretch of driving, we pull into a corn maze.

Me: *Upon reading the sign.* “Wait, corn mazes are actually mazes?!”

Mom: “Of course!”

Dad: “What did you think they were?”

Me: “I thought people were just calling them by both names to be inclusive, like corn/maize.”

I spell it out to make my point.

Dad: “You realize that would just be calling it corn corn?”

Me: “Dad, back home our mooncakes are called Lune Moons.”

Mom: *Laughs.* “He’s got you there!”
