I was helping Julia with her homework last night.  She was coming up with rhymes for the word tell.  The following conversation ensued.
Julia:  Mom, does m-e-l-l rhyme with tell?
Me:  It rhymes but it's not a word.
Julia:  That's how Abby [a little friend with a decidedly western accent] says mail.  Like, "Stewart I'm gonna get the mell."  And you don't even want to know how she says hail!!
