Stop! Grammar-time.

I tried a new recipe tonight for dinner. Well, not new exactly, but new as in we haven't had it in at least three years. It wasn't all that I remembered it to be.

Me: This chicken isn't bad. . .
Nate: It isn't good either.
(Pause followed by me laughing.)
Me: I guess Nate doesn't like the chicken.
Nate: It's neutral. It isn't bad or evil.
Me: Is it chaotic? (showing my boys that I am not completely clueless when it comes to gaming)
Joel: It's "chaos", Mom.
Mom: Chaos is a noun. Chaotic is an adjective. I was describing the chicken.
Seth (to Joel): Ooooh. You just got grammared.

For those who don't know, getting grammared is like getting Jimmered but by your Mom when she corrects your grammar.

Word.
