Upon returning home with a folder of the semester's work and assignments:

  • Mom: Oh, is this where you keep the...what are they...syllabuses?
  • Me: Syllabi.
  • Mom: Syllabi... [scoff] Tell me, is it "buses" or "bus-i?"
  • Me: Um...
  • Mom: Like, oh, it must be rush hour, look at all the "school bus-i!"
