if you pronounce it "ex-press-o", I will mock you

Homework is always made more palatable by drinking espresso out of an adorable demitasse cup. I picked up my box of "too bulky/fragile/heavy for the airline baggage handlers" presents at UPS yesterday, and the set of five vintage espresso cups and saucers survived the shipping intact. I think they yearn to be filled with panna cotta in the near future.
