Next of Kin

When discussing wills, I brought up the term "next of kin."

Amy: Nexican?

Me: Next of kin.

Amy: Nexican...? You mean "Mexican," right?

Me: No. Next. Of. Kin.

Amy (bursting out laughing): MOM! Cory can't say "Mexican" properly! He says it starts with a "n!" Nexican!

Me: No. Next. Of. Kin. Like my children would be my next of kin.

Amy: Are you going to marry a Mexican girl?

Me: No! Not "Mexican!"

Amy: Then how are you going to have Mexican children? I mean "Nexican!" HAHAHAHA! You can't say it right! And you call me dumb!

Me: This has nothing to do with Mexicans. It's "next of kin." Three words. Next.

Amy: Yeah.

Me: Of.

Amy: Yeah.

Me: Kin.

Amy: Kin? That's not a real word. Stop trying to cover up that you couldn't say "Mexican" right. You're just embarrassed.
