Kai: ....
Reiko: Kai! do you know, that there are other children in countries with no food. They would love to have a breakfast like yours, but here you sit, Selfish Boy. So Selfish, you could be eating this food, but you just let it sit here. I wish I could send it to a developing country!
Kai: Well, why don't you send it?
Me: WOW!
Them: what?!?
Me: Reiko, you do realize that the "children are starving and you should eat this food guilt trip has been used by mothers since the 1940's or so to get kids to clean their plates, right?

Me: you implied it
Kai: No, we use Amazon!
ME: BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

An interview with Terry Gilliam. And if you do not know who Terry Gilliam is, do not talk to me. Just don’t talk to me. Google it, then pretend you always knew. Then you can talk to me. Assuming,of course,you wanted to talk to me in the first place.

Kai: Hey Dad?
Me: Yeah...
Kai: Why do some dogs have no fur on their belly?
Me: Umm, I'm not really sure, but I have a better question.
Kai: What?
Me: Why do you continue to ask me weird questions like this? I'm your Dad, not your personal encyclopedia.
Kai: Well, you kinda are. You are my funny personal encyclopedia that is more than half right most of the time.
Me: Ok.
