Warren: I always mess up those words; sarcophagus and esophagus.
Lindsay (me):What does that mean again?
Warren: Esophagus? You know, it’s the gullet. The entrance for eating that...
Lindsay: No sarcophagus. I can’t remember.
Warren: Serious? It’s like a tomb or whatever where people are buried when they die and...
Lindsay: Oh yeah! I remember now. I just forgot because I’m not used to hearing it aloud, because I read it all the time.
Warren: (Laughs at me for at least 5 min and finally regain voice between fits of laughter) What kind of books to you read that sarcophagus is mentioned frequently?
I am still wondering that to this day and also why that was my response.

:-) I have so many comments I would like to say in respond to this.
Have you ever read a Dan Brown book? He mentions the word sarcophagus all the time! And yes, reading a word and speaking a word are NOT the same thing. I love you Linds!
