After 5 seconds, this is what ensued (and I wrote it down, feverishly, as to not miss a word.)

My mom: Really?
Daughter: Of course not.
My mom: I’m having deja vu.
Daughter: I’m having meshugenah
Me: Mom, you realize your encouraging this
Daughter: I’m NOT encouraging this. What is encouraging mean?

Daughter: I encourage you to tell my mommy not to hit me in the face.
And then we died laughing.
