what do you say when you don't know what to say?

"Where's the string, mom?" -- referring to the cord on my cell phone that I had plugged up to the charger.

"Take off the wrapper, mom." -- the strap on a new hand-me-down pair of shoes.

"chappers" -- Chapstick

"I don't WANT to get on the alligator!" -- refusing to board the elevator at the doctor's office.
