phonics and avocados

Yesterday I met a boy named Jayson. Jay-son, as opposed to just...Jason.
Right.

In other breaking news: the wing has now fallen OFF the chicky, thus extending the metaphor, and my sister eats avocado halves as if they were pudding cups.
Joy: You're scooping the avocado straight into your mouth.
Alexa: Yes
Joy: But..
Alexa: (cutting Joy short) They were MADE to be eaten this way. Look, it forms its own bowl. (She spoons more avocado into her mouth) See?
Joy: (enlightened) Ah.
