Child of mine: Did you see how far I just slided?!
Me: Yes, I did. It was a good one! But, slided?! I don't think slided is a word. How about...
Child of mine: Oh, yeah. Slode.
Me: Slode??? Um, no. Slode is not a word. How about slid?
Child of mine: I'm sure I've heard slode before.
Me: Yes, but it's slowed, as in "I slowed down when I was going too fast."
