...Well, a combination of feigning ignorance and diversionary... a full feigning
ignorance would be:

KL: "Where do you keep your tiles?"
You: "Tiles? What's a tile?..."
KL: "You know, plates with no top studs."
You: "Plates? Studs? (look of confusion)"
KL: "Yea, plates... 1/3 high bricks! (look of frustration)"
You: "Brick?"
KL: "Dah-neeese!!! Make them stop!!!!"

bwahahahahaha...
