I was showing my son a video of letter 'D'.
It showed examples as: Dog, Dolphin, Doll, Doctor, Desert, Drum to explain. Then the section where it showed next set pictures and was checking what kids understand from them (and then eventually telling what it is).
This section has one of the items that looked like this: Google Images and it went on calling it 'dessert'
My son asks: "Is not this a cup-cake? Further, first section explained me Desert as place of sand. How is this a desert again?"
I was clueless for once on how to go ahead and explain it to him! 
Eventually, I explained him what 'dessert' is and to forget for now that it starts with D to avoid any confusion.

When you are feeling stressed, the solution is to reverse it. (STRESSED <-> DESSERTS)

And then your belt starts to feel stressed ...

I tried to find a google image with dessert cupcake in it. Apologies, I couldn't find one. But you get the gist.

Dessert has two S in it, because you want more of it than you would a desert.

Do you want me to tell this to my son and get a reply back?

But you would never go hungry in a desert because of all the sand which is there.
But I never wave bye bye

This makes me think of a song by King Crimson, "Elephant Talk." At one point, Adrian Bellew says, "these are words with a D this time."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

... Talk, talk, it's all talk, Too much talk ...

That's the one.

You didn't show him a do-while loop?

It is throwing a NullReferenceException.
Based on stack trace, error is not handled in son.eatMoreDessertCupcake();
Looks like there are no cupcakes and code is trying to take an action on it.

FTFY
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

 Unfortunately that probably applies to me more than my son.
