Family Conversations, Part 30

2018
This post will be slightly different from the usual Conversations posts, because it’s things I overheard or were said to me during our vacation. I didn’t note who said what, just the things that were said.
The Scene – we are about to cross the street in Seattle : We must wait until it is safe. But who will save us?
The crosswalk sign changes from a red hand to a white figure : Yay! The white man has saved us!
I don’t know what they’re teaching these kids in social studies these days…
Some Wife : Well, it happens to the best of us…
Child : Like me!
No lack of self esteem in that one.
Some Wife : You don’t need to do that, he’s not highly contagious.
Child : Is he lowly contagious?
Child, counting the ridges on a potato chip : …8, 9, 10. This chip is 10 years old!
I think that might have been just after we saw the redwoods.
Child, after seeing a certain commercial : I don’t want that deodorant. It just says it fights odors all day. I want one that wins.
Child, after observing a senior citizen wearing long sleeves while we were all sweating in shorts : Old people don’t get hot in summer because their white hair reflects the heat.
Child 1 : What am I saying? Yanni, Yanni.
Everyone Else : Laurel, Laurel.
Child 1 : Arrrgh!! Why does nobody hear me!?!
Child 1 : You’re the best brother.
Child 2 : Thanks, you’re the best brother.
I suppose they could both be right.
Bonus Item
Child 1, smacking a random brother on the back with his open hand : 5-star rating!
Smacked Brother, annoyed : Da-aaaaad, he gave me a 5-star rating.
I’m going to blame that one on the public schools too.
Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, Older than your father..
