Scrapes

"Mom? I scratched my heel on the cement."

"Do you want some Neosporin?"

"What's that?"

"Ointment."

"What's that?"

"Salve."

"What do you mean?

"Liniment."

"I don't know what that is."

"Unguent."

"Mom!"

"Medicine."

"Why didn't you just say that in the first place?"

"Then you wouldn't get to know all those great words."

"Mom, you're weird."
