Hydrocarbon

Our friends Pete and Amy were over last night. They taught Genevieve how to say thank you in several languages, including Estonian, which Pete said was pronounced, "spankmeplease." Genevieve thought that Pete was a "tricker."

Among other Pete tricks was insisting the Amy was taller than he was (on his knees!), and that Amy was made of cheese and couldn't take a bath because she would turn into yogurt. And then, he changed his mind and insisted that Amy was made of hydrocarbons, and so was he, and so was Genevieve. This was obvious nonsense to Genevieve, who knows a tricker when she sees one, and laughed in his face.
