Spelling Suggestions For "Lilibet"

Adorable/Disgusting

The little girl in the pink cords and the slightly darker pink Converse next to me at this outdoor cafe just announced to her mom that she made a “Winnie The Pooh” in her pants.

Almost Tastes Like The Real Thing

I was waiting on this mother and daughter, they were Japanese, the Mom paid with crispy fifties I remember and barely spoke any English. So her daughter, about my age, ordered for them.

She said:

"I'll have a Diet Cock and she'll have a legular Cock."

About twenty minutes later the daughter waved me over and motioned towards her Mom and said:

"Could she have some more Cock please?"

I had to walk away.
