(In my husband’s family, his mother is referred to as “Nana” by our son and his cousins. At the time of this story, I am doing homework for a medical terminology class and struggling with spelling a term.)

Me: “Okay, I’ve got it.” *sounding it out* “Ana-Fi-Lax-Is.”

Husband: “Nanaphylaxis? What’s that?”

Me: “That’s the reaction I get when your mom is being dramatic.”
