Wonderful Wife: “How were your new goggles at the pool today?”
Danger Monkey, age 9: “They were great! Really cleared up my vision for close combat.”
Me: “Really.”

WW: “He was at camp, right? Not the Crusades or something?”
Me: “We may be raising a gamer.”

Little Miss Thing, age 5: “We made ice cream.”
Me: “Very cool. How did you make it? With cream and sugar?”
LMT: “No, I made it with… a door knob… and a crushed up car… and an old stop sign… and chocolate syrup.”
Me: “Wow… I didn’t know that’s how ice cream was made. Did you stir it?”
LMT: “No. I put gas on it and lit a match and it went BOOM!”
Me: “I had no idea it worked like that.”
LMT: “It’s Chemistry.”
