Say Again

An actual dialogue from our house last night . . .

Daughter: (yelling from bedroom) "Dad, how do you spell 'deaf'?"
Me: "Death?"
Daughter: (yelling louder from bedroom) "No, 'deaf'!"
Me: "Debt?"
Daughter: (yelling even louder from bedroom) "NO! 'DEAF'!"
Me: "Oh, 'deaf'. D-E-A-F."
Daughter: (long sigh of fruatration)

Oh, the irony.
