Bugs of the ocean

Kim was telling me about a dream she had:

Kim: Yeah, it was really scary. There were all these huge bugs. I think they came from when we saw the crabs on Iron Chef America last night. Because crabs are like the bugs of the ocean.
me: Bugs of the ocean?
Kim: Yeah, and they wouldn't die!

Worm time!

Walking on campus with Kim, I spotted a green inchworm, hanging by a long inchworm thread from a tree, blowing in the wind. This led us to a discussion on how Kim marks the seasons by the prevalence of certain insects.

me: Woah, look at that guy. It's like a worm kite!

Kim: Yeah, it's that time.

me: What time is that?

Kim: It's worm time!

me: Ha, worm time?

Kim: Yeah, what's funny about that?

me: Is that like, "lightning bug time"? (a reference to a previous, similar comment)

Kim: Oooh, yes, I like lightning bug time. That's in the summer.

Pewter

Kim: I need my pewter.

me: What?

Kim: My pewter. But I will just use my phone.

me: Where did I find you?

Kim: In Texas!

me: Do people in Texas say "pewter" instead of "computer"?

Kim: Yeah, all the smart ones do.
