A most surreptitious method for obtaining
a potato chip


The scene: Dad and Fiona sitting on the front porch. Dad eating a turkey sandwich and potato chips. Fiona drinking a blueberry smoothie.

Fiona (knowing her frequent requests for potato chips are often turned down): Have you ever had a smoothie chip?

Dad: I don't think so. What's a smoothie chip?

Fiona: It's when you take a bite of a chip and then you take a sip of your smoothie.

Dad: Oh yeah?

Fiona: Watch.

Fiona takes chip off of Dad's plate, pops it into her mouth, drinks a sip of her smoothie, chews, swallows.

Fiona: That's a smoothie chip.
