Beta : Dad, can you fix the clock?
Me : Sure, but why is it not working?
Beta : My slider got away from me…
That was in the living room. Not the best place for pitching practice.
Gamma, pointing to a globe : What’s that line?
Me : That’s the equator.
Gamma : What’s the equator?
Me : It’s the middle of the earth.
Gamma : Then where’s the hot lava?
Me : That’s the middle of the inside of the earth. The equator shows the middle of the outside of the earth.
Me : Delta, what are you thankful for?
Delta : Lava.
Me : Okay. How about you, Gamma?
Delta’s answer to most things is “lava”.
Gamma : What’s the opposite of orange juice?
Me : Umm, apple slices.
Gamma : What’s the opposite of lemonade?
Me : Chocolate.
Gamma : Is fish the opposite of less?
Me : ???
Gamma : Because selfish is the opposite of selfless.
Me : Actually, it’s ish. Self-ish. So that would make ish synonymous with more.
Gamma : I just counted to 1000!
Alpha : You did not. That was too quick. What were you counting by?
Gamma : Thousands.
If it looks like a lot of quotes from Gamma, that’s because he’s doing a lot of talking.
Do not eat the bread of a selfish man,
Or desire his delicacies;

Once they get the snow cleared and flights resume, you’re welcome to come visit. They don’t talk much on the phone.
