Calvin and Garfield

The following took place as Harry looked at Presidents of the United States cards

Harry: Dad! Two different Presidents were named after cartoons; Calvin (Coolidge) and Garfield!

(pause)

Harry: Dad! This one is like a red nosed reindeer and a car was President (Gerald Rudolph Ford)!

(pause)

Harry: Dad! This one is like a monkey was President (George W. Bush)!

Kester: Aaah...no comment.

Weightless Thumb?!

Harry: Weightless thumb? (giggle) Weightless thumb?! (laugh) Weightless thumb!?!
Rachel: Why do you keep saying "weightless thumb"?

(pause)

Harry: Just don't worry about it.

I'm Dreaming

Kester: We need to think of something we can do about the Zilker closing.
Rachel: There's a petition online we can sign and a meeting this week.
Harry: I can go up to one of the people closing Zilker and say, "Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate?!" and then say "Zilker" and they'll say "We can't close this school, this kid loves it too much."

(pause)

Harry: This is what I'm dreaming will happen.

Dumb Children

Harry: This says "Keep away from children"
Rachel: That's because children might hold the plastic up to their face and suffocate.
Harry: Oh...keep away from dumb children.
