pause

Harry: Hey dad! Go to the next song please.

Kester: I am.

pause

Harry: Dad! Go to the next song please!!

Kester: Harry, I am!

Harry: Just skip. Skip to the next song.

Kester: Harry, this is a tape. I can't just skip.

Harry: What!? What are you talking about?! Just skip!!

Pretty Weird

This afternoon, Harry and I watched a video of my sister, Brie, claiming to be the real Lady Ga Ga...

Kester: Huh.

Harry: Yeah.

pause 

Harry: Well...aunt Brie is pretty weird.

You Know Everything

Harry: What's a four letter word for glove?

Kester: Mitt?

Harry: How do you know everything!?

Grandpa Smell

Last week, Rachel found men's deodorant on sale; a different brand from the one I usually wear, with a musky "Old Spice" smell. The first day I wore it, Harry hugged me and said:

Ew. Dad, you smell like a grandpa.

Bees

Harry: True of false; bumblebees' nests die out at the end of each summer?

Kester: Uh...I don't know...false?

Harry: True! Man, you know next to nothing about bees.

Love and Truth

Rachel: I love this game.

Harry: Loving a person is good, loving a video game is gross.

Rachel: Hey, that's pretty good.

Harry: I just now made it up, so it might not be true.

Who Says?

Harry: Simon says...
Kester: I don't listen to what Simon says.
Harry: OK, Harrison says...
Kester: I don't have to do what Harry says.
(pause)
Harry: I know! Rachel says...
