An Ambiguity

Filed under Aleatory Research

From this Washington Post article:

She said her father relishes his new freedom to take a morning drive to Starbucks in a black SUV, toting home the decaffeinated latte on which his doctor and his wife, Lynne, insist.

I read this thinking that the doctor and wife insisted on a decaffeinated Iatte and wondered why they couldn’t each have one. I then realized it was his decaffeinated latte. I suppose it’s because I couldn’t imagine him being anything less than a selfless idealist, I suppose.
