Scrumpy-isms

My mother stayed with us for a few days this week. I casually refer to JFJ by my nickname for him, "otter."

Scrumpy: Do you call him 'otter' because he is so sleek?

Me: No, otters are his favorite animal... um, did you just say
he's sleek?

Scrumpy pretends not to hear me, rummages in her purse.
