Advent Drabble 18 - Elephant
“E is for electrolyte,” Sherlock told Oliver. “That’s a substance that dissociates into ions in solution and acquires the capacity to conduct electricity.”
“I highly doubt that is what it says in the book ‘A is for Alligators,’” remarked John.
“I’m not telling him E is for elephant,” Sherlock said. “That’s nonsensical.”
John supposed it was predictable when, months later, Oliver pointed to a picture of an elephant and exclaimed, “’lectrolyte!”
“That’s an elephant,” Lestrade said.
“‘Lectrolyte!” Oliver repeated stubbornly.
“Electrolyte, Ollie,” Sherlock said, “very good.”
Lestrade said, “Is it worth it to argue about this?”
“No,” said John immediately.
