Pokamon

Took my girl to high school this morning, and we had the following conversation, which served to underscore, once again, how annoying mothers can be.

Girl: So, I'm asking Mario to Homecoming today. I brought the Pokemon ball I bought him.

Me: Oh, yes, that's right. You're going to give him the Pokamon ball --

Girl: PokEmon.

Me: -- the PokEmon ball, with a note inside that says please go to Homecoming with me.

Girl: No - not a note. You don't understand about Pokemon.

Me: Yes, I do. I know the ball opens, and there's a Pokamon inside, and --

Girl: PokEmon.

Me: -- there's a PokEmon inside, so it's like a little gift when you play video games.

Girl: No, Mom.

Me: And that's why you're giving --

Girl: No, it's more like ... see ... ugh!

Me: -- that's why you're giving him a Pokamon ball with a note inside.

Girl: Not a note! And it's PokEmon. PokEmon!

Me: Exactly! PokEmon! I told you I get it.

Luckily, the car was stopped when she jumped out. I never did find out what's the deal with giving the boy a Pokamon ball.
