I was teaching a kid chess, and when we got to the pawns he sat there for a moment without saying anything... finally he said... "pawns?"

I said, yeah, they're called pawns.  Another long pause... "Paaawns?" he says with a puzzled look, drawing out the pronunciation.

Yeah, pawns.

Another long pause, and I start to wonder if the kid is mentally deficient.  He asks, "like the body of water?  Ponds?"

lol, I was just mishearing him.
