Jing is always up for digressions and fortunately, they often lead to teachable moments. Except when I don't do the best job of explaining something.

Jing: What's an oxymoron?

Me: It's when a description of something contradicts itself, like... Well, like dull roar or tidy mess.

Jing: Or pretty ugly?

Me: Kind of, but "pretty" is being used more like an adverb there.

Jing: Or smart homeless person?

Me: Ummm, NO. And that's not necessarily a contradiction.

Jing: Homeless person who smells good?

Me: JING! That's not appropriate. What's with you?

Jing: Alright. Britney Spears with hair?

Me: No, no, no. That's not an oxymoron. And she has hair now.
