That's Almost Right.

Yesterday Beatrice was eating a grilled cheese sandwich with me at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center Cafe when she had to go to the bathroom.

"This grilled cheese sandwich is a diuretic," she told me.

"What's a diuretic?"

"It's a food or beverage that makes you have to urinate," she told me confidently.

I explained that most diuretrics were beverages like coffee, tea, and wine, and she conceded, "That's true, and some sandwiches."
