Upgrades and Downgrades

Child 1: I used to be awesome. Now I’m … really awesome!
(A short time later he does something annoying.)
Child 2: You’ve been downgraded to semi-awesome.

Thanks a lot, Echo

The Scene: the kids have been using the Amazon Echo to do various things, mainly starting a song that someone else doesn’t like then he tells Echo to stop that and play his song instead. After that was done, the boys were interacting with each other, until one tired of the other.
Gamma: Hey Delta, turn off

Which Brand

Me: Time to go, get in the car.
Gamma: Are we taking the planet car?
Me: We are taking the Mercury. Oh, yes, I suppose that’s the planet car.
I need to get a Saturn so he will have to be more specific next time.

Not in Real Life

The Scene: We are driving down the driveway in the morning pre-dawn fog. A flock of turkeys, which we had always seen walking around but never flying, comes flying in from the left and lands in front of us and then they walk off into the fog on the lawn. Since turkeys are big and not well organized, they appear kind of one at a time right in a row rather than all at once.
Delta: We found the turkey spawn point!
Yes, that boy has played video games recently, why do you ask?
