About an aeon ago, Alex and Amy arrived at an aged aunt’s abode and argued all afternoon. “Ardvaaks are anteaters, Amy. Aardwolves are also."

“Aardwolves aren’t anteaters,” Amy asserted. “All adults accept an aardwolf as another animal altogether, Alex.”

Alex advanced, animatedly against accepting Amy’s answer as absolute. “Ask Alan. Alan agrees. Alan!”

Alan – another adolescent – answered Alex and agreed.

Amy angered. “Alan also affirms alligators are alive around Antarctica. Absolutely anything Alan announces amounts as artificial. Alan and actual accuracy are always antipodes.”

Alex abhorred Amy. “Absurd! Antipodes? Alan ain’t Australian!”

Aunt Ada approached. “Arguing? Again? Behave!”

    Loved this! One tiny little insignificant point, absurb or absurd? Now try "b"!

    This is a work of art due to time invested for the aesthetic appeal.
