The other day we were driving on the freeway and the following conversation ensued...
Zane: Are you speeding?
Me: No, not really.
Zane: What does "not really" mean?
Me: Well, I'm going 65 and the speed limit is 60. So, I'm only speeding a little bit and that's ok.
Zane: What's a speed lemon?
Me: (giggle) Speed lim-IT. It's the law that says how fast you can go. The law says you can 60 mph on this freeway, but it's ok to go a little bit faster.
Zane: What's a law?
Me: It's a rule. So it's ok to break the rule a little bit.
Zane: It is?
Me: (C.R.A.P.) Um...no...it really isn't. I'll slow down.
