In our dinner conversation tonight, I mentioned "buffalo."
Anda said, "What's a buffalo?"
"A large animal," I said.
"An elephant is a large animal," Anda said.
To clarify, I said, "A large animal that's covered all over with brown fur."
"Woah!" said Anda, looking truly amazed.
I nodded.
"Even its eyeballs?" she said.
"Uh, no," said I.
"Even it's lips?" she asked.
"Uh, no," I said.
Curses, I thought. Foiled once again in my attempts to be educational......
