We got a crime alert from the administration of the university today. One line read, "The suspect was wearing dark baggy clothes and a gray "puffy" coat."
One time I was home for Christmas and there was an announcement on the radio that the police were looking for a suspect wearing a dark "puffy" coat. I could see my dad's brain start to turn. I had no idea what he was thinking - maybe he'd seen the suspect? - maybe he'd been wearing a similar jacket and wondered if he'd committed a crime without knowing it? - maybe he didn't know what the description "puffy" coat meant? I waited it out, knowing he'd eventually say something.
"What's a puppy coat?"
