Here's a recent conversation with one of the twins.
Me (just returning from the gym to no one in particular): I'm going to hop in the shower.
Twin: No, you can't do that.
Me: Why not?
Twin: We don't hop in the shower. It's not safe.
Me: You're right. We sit carefully while we take a bath.
I didn't realize that an expression I use all of the time could seem like a call for potential mortal danger. She was right, though, if I were to actually hop in the shower, I'd probably gravely injure myself. (This is after I completely rolled and sprained my ankle -- at the park with the kids. This is what happen when you jump off a slide at the age of 36. It's not pretty.)
