At times, explaining what I mean when I say I make ceramics can be a bit difficult.

Me: "Yeah, I make ceramics work."


Friend: "You mean like the tiles for bathrooms and stuff?"


Me: "Not really
, I do make tiles, but they are more like wall decorations."

Friend: "Ooohhh..."

At this point I can see that my friend
did not really understand what I meant.

Me: "You know that movie Ghost?"

Friend:
"The old movie? Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze?"

Me: "Yeah, you know that scene where they're making something out of clay? That's the kind of ceramics I make."

Pause...

Me: "But it's not sexy like that. I don't have a topless guy sitting behind me or anything. It's actually kind of messy, but fun."

Me: "I make bowls and vases."

Friend: "Oooh, I get it now."
