author

Princess:  Mom, how do you spell author?

Me: [we live in a loud house, I didn't hear her very well]  What do you mean?  Arthur or author?

Princess:  Author, like the guy who drew the map.

Me:  [distracted]  Um, c-a-r-t-o-g-r....

Princess:  Wait, what? 

Me:  Cartographers draw maps, not authors.

Princess:  [grunt in exasperation]  Never mind!!!

Yeah, wrong teaching moment.
