This afternoon Fat Sister, King Russell and I went on a mini road trip to have a Christmas lunch with our collective families. At one point on the journey King Russell said something which neither Fat Sister nor I heard. When we asked him what he’d said he replied:

‘It’s nothing that bears repeating.’

My tics instantly responded by repeating:

“It’s nothing but bears repeating.”

As we headed down the motorway we pondered how changing one simple word from ‘that’ to ‘but’ could change the meaning of bears.
