Valcony

Paul Let’s go on the valcony!
Sage Oh, well, it’s actually a balcony. With a B.
Paul NO! With a V! It’s a VALCONY.
Sage Tell you what, we’ll ask Granny.
Paul What does valcony start with?
Granny V.
Paul SEE?
Sage *shooting Granny an exasperated look*
Granny Or, if you’re talking about that thing over there, it’s called a balcony. With a B.
Paul NO IT ISN’T!
Granny Let’s look it up in the dictionary on the computer.
Sage reads [Dictionary.com] Valcony not found. Similar words: Balcony. A platform that projects from the wall of a building and is surrounded by a railing, balustrade, or parapet
Paul Ohhh. Okay. Balcony, then.

And what I find hilarious about this whole episode is that we could have been looking at Australian soybean futures, pretending it was dictionary.com, and he would have no idea.

When you’re brought up by techno-geeks I guess it should be no surprise that the computer has more authority than your parents.
