Darcy: "So...apparently (this is her new way of beginning conversations) the team we play tomorrow in basketball is off on a field trip and they will only have five people playing. So we are going to play the first half like a regular game and the second half some of us will play for them like an expedition game."
Me: "It isn't expedition. That's another word. You meant exhibition."
Darcy: "Whatever the word is that's what's happening."
Me: "Do you know what the word expedition means?"
Darcy: "Uh, a trip?"
Me: "Ok, good. More like a discovery trip like Christopher Columbus."
Madison: "A journey."
Me: "Now what does the word exhibition mean?"
Darcy: "It means that's what we're doing tomorrow in our basketball game."
