Well, my 6-year old daughter is in the car, so I proceed to over-react, telling him not to ask questions about words he does not understand in from of his little sister. We had "the talk" recently (yes, I did ask advice about it late last year and managed to put it off as long as possible - but I took all your advice and it worked well), so I figured he was asking to follow up on something he heard. I want him to ask such questions, just not in front of his kid sister.
He's puzzled, and says "well, they said it at the Eagle Scout ceremony today". Now I'm really confused, and finally determine he was asking what "lispy" meant (an older brother of one of the new Eagle Scouts - himself an Eagle Scout - was kidding his nervous younger brother).
Sooo... my wife and I explain what a lisp is, and that the older brother was just teasing his younger sibling when the latter was messing up a bit on his speech in front of everyone. Understandable - earning one's Eagle rank is a big honor. Issue solved - I thought.
Then he says, "so, then what does 'lesby' mean?"
Yes, I opened my mouth, and inserted my foot...
