     Haven’t had one of these in a while, have we?

CSO: Owww!
FWP: What’s the matter, Sweetie?
CSO:The water just got too hot, that’s all.

FWP: Well, then that was the wrong noise!
CSO: Hm?
FWP: “Owww!” is the wrong noise for too-hot water. You’re supposed to say “Aieee!”

CSO: Are you feeling all right?
FWP: Look, every kind of distress has its proper noise. If you took a mouthful of disgusting food, what noise would you make?
CSO: Probably “Eugghhh!”

FWP: That’s an entirely appropriate noise. You wouldn’t say “Owww!” would you?
CSO: (reaches for phone book)
FWP: What are you looking for?
CSO: A psychiatrist who makes house calls. Actually I think we’ll need two.

     And how is your morning going, Gentle Reader?
