me: Hey, you know what’s cool about me?
Ming: What?
me: I know how to spell Des Moines. I spelled it the other day without looking.
Ming: Hmm.
me: How do I know that? Is it the capital or something? Maybe I learned it when I was a little kid and it stuck in my head.
Ming: How do you spell capital?
me: There are two capitals.
Ming: Two capitals of Iowa?
me: Two capitals in the English language. One with an o, one with an a.
