My eldest was busy with his homework; English Comprehension.
The piece he was reading was all about the invention of zips.
“Oh cool! Before 1893,” he read, “you used to have ties, laces and
buttons.”
“That must have been awesome. So, like, when you were young there
were no zips.”
He took one look at my face.
“Ok then when Granny was young…”
Just as well his Grandmother lives in Yorkshire!

Well , on the bright side , he can at least think on his feet !
Good recovery. He'll go far.
Good recovery by the lad! With those skills, he'll go far! In fact, you've received several stories of those who have their way with words. Budding journalists, all, perhaps.
Blessings and Bear hugs.
