Me: The word, “fire” is an odd word.

Grandboy: Why is that, grandpa?

Me: Well, “fire” can burn something, and you can “fire” a weapon, and a boss can “fire” a person. Same word but they have different meanings.

Grandboy (thinking)

Grandboy: No, they come from the same thing. A “fire” can hurt you by burning you. And someone can “fire” a gun and can hurt you. And when a boss “fires” someone they usually kick the guy out of the door with a BIG BOOT. And that can hurt you.

Me: Huh.

Grandboy: So they kind of DO mean the same thing!

Me: You figured it out. Would you like some fire pizza?

Grandboy: Ah! No thank you
