Scientist

Yesterday Inwe had put on an outfit that Phill and I thought really clashed. We said as much to her. She thought about it a bit and decided to change her clothes. She returned wearing jeans and a white button down shirt.

I made a comment, "Oh, that looks nice. Did you do the buttons yourself?"

"I did," Inwe replied triumphantly. "I'm going to be a scientist today. I'm wearing my scientist shirt."

I was pretty sure what she meant, but I decided to probe her logic. "What about that shirt makes you say it is a scientist shirt?" Phill was smiling in the background.

"Scientists were white shirts, so I'm a scientist."

I nodded my head. "That's true, Inwe. Scientists do wear white lab coats. You do look like a scientist."

Inwe had a very serious expression on her face, "I'm a vampire scientist."

She could mean two things with this statement:

1. She is a vampire who is a scientist.
2. She is a scientist who studies vampires.

She meant number two. Phill bought her a book for Christmas, "The Fantasy Encyclopedia", that she has become quite interested in. She can't read it, but she always seems to study the pictures of the vampires. This is why she was a scientist specializing in vampiric studies yesterday.
