J: Fine. [erases it sullenly]
Me: No, wait! Let me explain. This is important, and it's a bit tricky, but it's useful to know. Let's write out some sentences. "Bears eat honey" ... no, let's use raccoons. "Raccoons eat ..."
J: ... garbage."
[he caught on to the apostrophe thing pretty quickly, too]
