SCENE: My teenage daughter and me in the car.
Lauren: Dad, do you know what the most commonly used letter in a girl's name is?
Me : Hmm, is it a consonant or a vowel?
(Silence.) Please tell me you know what consonants and vowels are.
Lauren: You're no fun, Dad. Forget it.
Me: What is a vowel?
Lauren: OK. OK. A vowel is... ahh... eh... well, oh... uh...
Me: Close enough.
