White bowls
My mother, the IDL (Irish Dragon Lady), when asked where she wanted to go for dinner, replied, "To the place with the white bowls."
Me: What place with the white bowls?
IDL: The place with the white bowls.
Me: Do you know what was in the bowls?
IDL: The stuff.
Me: Do you know what kind of cuisine was in the white bowls?
IDL: No. You know, the white bowls.
Me: Mom, I really don't know what you are talking about.
IDL: The place with the white bowls on the side.
Me: Oh! The Japanese place that has salads in the white bowls?
IDL: Yes. That's what I said.
