While working on plural forms of words one day, a student came up to ask me about "moose". I told him to think awhile and then show me what he came up with.
His first answer was "mooses". I told him to try again.
Second answer "meese". No, try again.
Third time coming up to my desk, in the quiet of the class working, he had had it. He didn't get it. He had a painful look on his face and was grasping at straws "moosies?"
I busted out laughing because I thought it was so cute. So much for a quiet class!

One of my fellow officers I remember very fondly is CDR Bill Smouse. We did a WESTPAC deployment on a Squadron Staff in the early 90s. As we were nearing the end of the deployment, we have this little institution of "Tiger Cruise," i.e. you can invite a relative or two to ride the ship back from HI to San Diego, and we have some whiz/bang events during that time to keep everyone entertained.
Well, Bill invited a couple of his nephews, his brother's sons, to do the Cruise with us. A couple of us were looking for him and his nephews, and my other buddy, Maj Greg Sheffer (member Corornado Masters; small world) asked if anyone had seen "the Smice."
:p
