Conversation with Starbucks barista:
Barista: How's your day going?
Penelope: It's going pretty good.
Barista: What are you up to today?
Penelope: I'm helping my mom. I'm grading labs for her.
Barista: Oh, my mom does that too. She... (voice trails off, but I think I hear the word "math.")
Penelope: Your mom teaches math?
Barista: No (looks at me like I'm completely batshit crazy).
Penelope: (Realizing that I would just need to start over): What I was trying to say it that my mom is a chemistry teacher, and I'm helping her grade labs for her classes.
Barista: Oh, my mom breeds labs. The dogs.
