she waits for me but it is not in vain

[cimorene]

perrin (holding a wooden block): this is a bar of soap.
me: oh. does it get slippery in water?
p: yes.
me: does it make foamy suds when you rub it in water?
p: no.
me: it DOESN'T?
P: it doesn't.
me: it does?
p: it doesn't make suds.
me: oh--okay. it must be a non-sudsing bar of soap.
p (rubbing hands together): i'm washing my hands.
me: i see. and there are no suds, so that must be because you were using a non-sudsing bar of soap.
p: talk about why it's a non-sudsing bar of soap.
me: well, it just must be a bar of soap that doesn't make any suds.
p: talk about why it doesn't make any suds.
me: i don't know. it just must be a non-sudsing kind of soap.
p: i use a non-sudsing kind of soap because i don't want to get soap all over my pants.
me: ...oooooooh.
