Lost in translation.

Jack: "Mom, there is a boy in my class who always makes bad choices."

Me: "Like what?"

J: "He tries to share snacks, breaks the tips off all his pencils, doesn't listen, and he drizzles."

M: "Drizzles? What does THAT mean?"

J (making huge circular swirling motions): "He just goes this way and that way and all over the place and makes a huge mess! I tell him not to, but he swirls it around every time! He even gets it all close to me and I always tell him to stop but he still doesn't listen!"

M (disgusted and mortified): "He gets pee-pee all over the place?"

J: "Eww, that's gross!! Why are you talking about PEE-PEE??!"

M: "Okay, Mommy doesn't understand, WHAT does he drizzle all over the place?"

J (exasperated): "His CRAYON!"

M: "Oh, do you mean he SCRIBBLES?!!"

J: "Yeah, not drizzles... He SCRIBBLES! I tell him not to, but he just does it every single time."

M: "Oh, okay, well you just concentrate on your paper and let Mrs. Brockman worry about his."
