Today while on an evening stroll together…
Mom: Jennifer, what’s ‘floatee’ mean?
Me: Floatee?
Mom: Yes, floatee.
Me: Oh, it’s this thing that kids wear on their arms so that they can float in the water.
Mom: No no no….FLOATEE. like what men do with their eyes when they like a woman.
Me: You mean … FLIRTING?
Mom: That’s what I said, floatee.
Me: That’s pronounced FLIRTING. and women do that too, and not just with their eyes.
Mom: [attempts to say 'flirting' but has trouble with the L and R interchange] Frilting. Fuh-rutting. You know what I mean. That’s what men do whey they try to attract girl.
Me: [in exasperation] Yes.
