We rented a video from the library and Josh was watching it with rapt attention. "Mom," he said, "this is the greatest movie ever; what's it called?"
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."
"Why are the meatballs enchanted?"
"No, Son, 'a chance' of meatballs."
Then we got into a discussion of cliches and idioms and figures of speech and other things I didn't really know how to explain. I should have just told him why the meatballs were enchanted....
