THE LEGEND OF YUM-OOEY

"Hi."
"Hi."
"Hello, you two. Have a seat.
Okay then, let's get started. What did you have for breakfast this morning?"
"I had a bagel."
*snort*
("Shut up!") "A, um, plain bagel with plain cream cheese."
"Very good. Now, moving on--"
"Was it a good bagel?"
"Yes, Rizzy, it was excellent. I enjoyed it very much. Very yummy."
"Good."
"I, ah, hate to interrupt, but I must. So, how many--"
"Did you know that the word 'yummy' is almost a palindrome?"
"No, actually, I didn't know that."
"Can we--"
"Just stick another u in there before the last y and you've got yourself a gorgeous palindrome."
"Yes, but then you'd have to pronounce it 'yum-ooey.'"
"So? It's still a lovely palindrome."
"Please, just for one--"
"Yum-ooey. Yum-oooey. I like it. From now on, I'm going to say yum-ooey instead of yummy."
"An excellent plan. Now you have a wonderful new palindrome to offer when someone asks you if you know any palindromes."
"That happens quite a lot, actually."
"I'm leaving."
