Daughter: recording her pronunciations into the school web app for her Arabic class.
Me: you seem to be saying "Al Shabaab" a lot. You know that's a militant islamist group in Yemen, right?
Her: ummm... it's just how you say "guys" when the ppl in question are all young. It kind of means "youth" as a mass plural.
Me: So you have at no time been in contact with Al Shabaab?
Her: No.
Me: okay then.

@rpardee
Yeah.
You gotta draw the line *somewhere*. Glad to know your bottom line is terrorism. 😂
