Incredulity at Innocence

I am currently in Hong Kong for a short pause with my mother. She's a funny little thing.

"Yan Ting, how do you pronounce that word over there?"

"It's CAS-CADE, ma."

"Cas-cade? Is this a place for the dead?" inquired in all innocence.

"..............??????"...........awkard pause.................. "NOOOO!!!!" "That's CAS-KET!!!!!" I shrieked!

And everyone turns to look at me.

I really should be more forebearing with my mother.
