I gave a sticker to a child who was leaving the doctor’s office today. It happened to be a sticker of a gecko. The little boy said, “Daddy, look at my sticker!!” The father looked at it and said, “Oh, it’s a little gecko.” The mother looked at the father like he was stupid and said, “That’s not how it’s pronounced. It’s ‘geico.'”

He paused for a second, clearly embarrassed that he mispronounced an animal, then said, “Oh, potato, potato, tomato, tomato.”

I help my breath until they walked out of the building and then I busted up laughing. I felt bad for the husband because he was right; it is “gecko.” His wife must just have gotten confused that the insurance company, Geico, uses a gecko for their mascot. Ohhhhh…I still laugh.
