As I am walking to the restroom, Papa J.D. asks what would I like. I respond, "A medium coke and a large extra buttered popcorn." He gives me this puzzled look and asks, "Do you mean large popcorn with extra butter?" I ponder for a slight second and confirm what I thought was obvious. "Yes," I replied. Then I walked to the restroom. At least I thought it was obvious. Is there a difference that I am unaware of regarding "extra buttered popcorn" vs. "popcorn with extra butter"? Huh? Why did I feel as though I was corrected by Papa J.D.? He was, in fact, an English major in undergrad and, therefore, can be a stickler for grammar and wordchoice. I was a Poli-Sci major because majoring in English required too much work. So - perhaps I mis-stated something or was wrong in how I stated "extra buttered popcorn". Was what I said wrong somehow -- MamaJD.
