Overheard at the Wright’s Household

The Elf King (Justinian) age 6.

Juss: "I have a secret punch and a secret kid Corey doesn’t know about."

Mommy: "Oh, really? Where did you get them?" (I wondered if he meant something he learned at Taekwando.

Juss: "He doesn’ t know about them unless he’s seen Karate Kid 1 and Karate Kid 2."

Mommy: "Which he may have."

Juss, resigned. "Which is why my secret punch and kick may not be secret very long."

  1. Very funny!

    Reminds me of something the Bunnybright said in the car today–

    BB: what are those [rectangular depressions on the arm of the car door] for?
    Mom: I think they used to be for ash trays.
    Dad: People don’t use them much anymore: they don’t smoke in their car
    BB: Why not?
    Mom: It stinks everything up
    Dad: And it’s probably illegal now, too.

    [cut: discursion about the odd paradox of wanting to defend smokers despite really loathing cigarette smoke; going on to a summary of Ye Olden Days in which smokers kept (somewhat, and mostly) voluntarily separate; with a digression re: fashion, smoking jackets, etc.; until mom inveighs:]

    Mom: It’s always like that: Some people think they can abandon all self-control and manners, but then all the other people they offend and irritate band together to vote in laws and the first people all get hit over the head by the Government Stick.

    BB: [not missing a beat] Well I would hit the bad people with the Goverment Stick and it would be pointy, too!

    Oy!
