While chatting together at dinner, her five year old brother Joey overheard Jane speaking about her boyfriend William.

“I thought his name was Billy.” Joey said.

His mother replied, “William is another name for Billy, dear.”

That night, before Joey went to bed, Jane came to see him.

“Would you like me to read you an anecdote?” she asked.

Joey tilted his head curiously.

“What’s an anecdote?”

“An anecdote is a tale.” Jane replied.

“Would you like me to douse the light?” she asked.

“What’s douse mean?”
