Alana is starting to appreciate wordplay. I had said that AC and I complement each other, and explained what 'complement' means. As an example of usage, I told her that mustard complements ham--and she said,
"Yeah, and it *really* complements corned beef!"
I agreed (we just did a corned beef and cabbage meal, and the kids really liked the corned beef with dijon-style mustard). Then I told her,
"...unless the mustard says something nice about the ham, in which case it com-PLI-ments the ham."
She grinned and said,
"good joke, Daddy!"
Or, maybe she's just learning how to butter me up. She's 5 1/2, so it could be either... :)
