risky-crispy

a snippet of a conversation between my mother & my aunt, translated from ilocano to english for your reading pleasure:

mom: you should go to to the bank & open a risk-free CD account.

aunt: crispy CD?

mom: no! RISK-FREE CD!!!

aunt: spell it for me.

mom: r-i-s-k...

aunt: k-i-r-s...

mom: no, no, no! r...

aunt: k?

mom: R...did you get that? R!

aunt: okay, r. now what?

mom: R-I-S-K free...that's F-R-E-E. and CD...don't forget to add CD at the end.

aunt: [reading it back what she's written down] K-R-I-S...i got it. crispy cd?
