This morning Katara and I were taking our vitamins, and Katara asked why vitamin K was letter “K”.
I said "It stands for ‘koagulation’.”
“No,” replied Katara.
“Yes,” I said.
“No.”
“Yes.”
By this time she must have known something was up, because she knows that I will make up lots of silly nonsense, but if challenged I will always recant immediately.
“‘Coagulation’ doesn't start with a ‘K’.”
Lorrie says she discovered the secret to dealing with me, thirty years ago: always take everything I say at face value. The unlikely-seeming things are true more often than not, and the few that aren't I will quickly retract.
