Family Conversations, Part 29

Delta, watching Gamma throw a rock into a puddle : Look, you’re making the internet go!

It took me a second to catch on, too. What he meant is that the ripples in the puddle look like the standard Wi-Fi symbol.


The Scene: Some Wife had just made a statement that everyone interpreted to mean something different than what she meant.
Me : She said one thing and we all heard something different.
Gamma : No, we all heard the same thing but thought different things.
Me : Well, yes.


The Scene: I am getting Gamma his portion of dinner, attempting to keep food items separate. I spill some gravy on his vegetables.
Gamma : That’s okay – gravy is like maple syrup because it tastes good on everything.

That’s the spirit!


Gamma, having just read an older comic strip that didn’t make much sense to him : What’s a long-distance carrier?
Someday I’ll have to explain collect calls to him too.


The Scene: We just watched the TV report on how the Philadelphia Eagles were owning their status as underdogs for the Super Bowl.
Gamma : So then, the Patriots are the overdogs?

Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.
