The Bowl Holders

Troy: “Dada, what are those things?”
Me: “Bowl holders.”
My Wife: “Don’t listen to him. They’re called pot holders!”
Me: “Only if I’m holding a pot. I’m holding a bowl, so they’re bowl holders!”
Troy: “That is a pot!”
Me: “Do you see any handles on it? Then, it’s not a pot. Pots have handles. This is a bowl. Thus, bowl holders!”
Troy: “Just because it’s not a pot doesn’t mean they stop being pot holders.”
My Wife [laughing]: “Ah, ha! He’s definitely your son! I just heard your wit when he said that! He’s a smart aleck just like you!”
Me: “Phffft!”
