I got a Peppermint Mocha coffee the other day and discovered that Nicholas apparently does not know the word peppermint. He is, however, quite skilled at dissecting words, even if incorrectly.
N: Is that a Decaf Caramel Mocha?
S: No, buddy, I got a Peppermint Mocha this time. Would you like to try some?
N: No, I don't like peppermint. Peppers are spicy and I don't like mint toothpaste.
He of course did try some once I assured him that there are no peppers in peppermint and it was not spicy. His conclusion? "I like it! I like mint coffee but I don't like mint toothpaste."
I decided to skip a discussion of the difference between peppermint and spearmint and instead buy him a candycane to introduce him to what peppermint really referred to.
