We were having a conversation about musical terms at dinner this evening. PB&J often watches Disney's "Little Einstein's" videos which rely heavily on musical and classical artistic content. It's good, as far as what it does.
Anyway, I botched a translation while we were at it. I remembered it later. The translation in particular was "Allegro con Brio". It translates to "Moderately fast, with spirit". I had confused it with "Allegro con Fuoco", which is, "Moderately fast, with fire". A fiery spirit.
I told PB&J with a hushed voice, about 'Quickly, with fire!' I took a sip of Guinness. She grinned and responded, almost as an aside...
"That would be really smoky..."
I swear, I had to clamp my hand over my mouth to avoid spraying the table. I had a great laugh over that.
I don't brag a lot about her, but I have to admit, for three years old, subtle humor like that is impressive.

It was funny, but my first reaction was to your trying to keep the beer in your mouth. I did not hear PB&J's smoke comment until after you regained control.
