Beetle was arm pit deep in her UNICEF Halloween Treat Bag, with her head tucked in for good measure when she emerged holding aloft the quarry of her search:
"HEY !! I got a mini Mr Big Bar!!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"Huh?" replied Ms. H. emerging from her own search in her treat bag.
"I got a MINI Mr Big Bar," repeated Beetle.
"That doesn't make sense," said Ms. H.
"What does that mean?" asked Beetle.
"It means 'a mini Mr Big bar' is an oxymoron," added Dad.
"What's an oxymoron?" asked Beetle.
"When you use two opposite meaning words to describe something," said Dad, "like Jumbo Shrimp ..."
"Or mini Mr Big," said Ms. H.
