Antarctica

Bob: Why did you throw it in there, Desmond?

Desmond: I didn't mean to, it just went there. I'll probably never see it again.

Felix: How weird would it be if you went to Antarctica one day and found it inside a giant block of ice?

Desmond: I bet you a million dollars that will never happen.

Felix: What do you want to be when you grow up, again?"

Bob: Baseball player or architect.

Desmond: Yeah, architect. Why?

Felix: I just want to see if you're going to have enough money to pay that million dollars. You might need a different job.

Bob: If I'm a baseball player, I can loan it to you, Desmond.

Define Fun

Bob returned home from camp last Saturday but his letter to us just arrived today.

Dear Mom, Dad and Teddy,
I am having soooo much fun. Sleeping Sunday night was easy and Monday I woke up in the middle of the night and had a headake. My favorite part of camp is the hikes. I also twisted my ankle. Camp is really fun I miss you.
Love, Bob

This Guy

"Mom, did you see this guy I made at camp?"

"Yes. He looks very friendly."

"I named him Rocky. You know why?"

"I think I do."

"Yeah, I named him after cousin Rockwell."

Into It

Felix: Did you guys know that Babe Ruth's real name was George?

Desmond: Can we talk about something besides baseball? Something I'm into?

Bob: Okay, Desmond. We'll talk about mythical dragons.

Felix: Like Babe Ruth

A Solid Plan

"This guy's pretty scary but I'm pretty sure we could take him down if we got him right in the, you know, privates area."

Trundle

"For our sleepover last night, me and Adam asked Dad to tell us a story so he made one up."

"What was the story about?"

"It was about puppies from outer-space."

"Of course it was."

"It was epic."

In the Carpool

"Mom? In the carpool we were talking about inappropriate super powers again and Shelby's dad said he would want to have farts that are so disgusting, he could take someone down with them. I told him my dad already has that super power."

That's My Boy

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Did you see that, Felix? Did you see that?"

"Hey, Bob. I think you need to switch to decaf."

"What's decaf?"

FYI

"If I had an inappropriate superpower, I would want the ability to pee fire."

At the frozen yogurt place, of course.

The Big Questions

"Hey Bob? If you could be any kind of undersea animal what would you be?"

"Probably a cookie cutter shark. What about you, Felix?"

"I think an octopus."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

Important Q & A

"Mom, I'm really, really sorry to interrupt you and Dad but I have important questions."

"What's that, Bob?"

"Was your dad Basque?"

"Some, yes. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering. Also did you know birds are actually dinosaurs? I learned that at the museum today."

They Made a Pizza

"It looks really good, Felix."

"You don't think the cheese is looking too brown?"

"Yeah, but it's probably all cheesy under the brown part."

"Like gooey and everything?"

"Yeah."

"We could totally work at the pizza place, Bob."

"Yeah."

Lookout

"Bob?"

"Yeah?"

"What's up?"

"I'm just watching."

When We're Grown Up

"Hey Bob, when we're grown up and professional soccer players and roommates, do you think we'll be rich?"

"I don't know. We don't have to be rich. We can just be happy. And we have to figure out what team we're going to play for. I'm thinking Manchester United. Wanna try and make each other laugh?"

"Yeah!"

That's My Choice?

"Mom? I have a 'would you rather' for you."

"Lay it on me."

"Would you rather... go to the opera and just hear one annoying note for five hours... or... have diarrhea for three days IN A ROW?"

Me and Felix

"When we go to the park today, me and Felix are going to play Ball of Perish."

"I don't know that one."

"We made it up. It's like dodge ball except when you get hit by the ball you have to fall on the ground and pretend like you're completely dead. You know, perish. Get it?"

I Know That Part

"Mom! I can't believe how many baseball cards I got!"

"I know! It's terrific. You're a lucky guy."

"Yeah, but now I have to put them all in my card binder."

"That's the fun part."

"It's also the hard brain thinking part that hurts."

Sharing the Knowledge

"You guys? You guys!"

"What, Felix?"

"You know if you have a friend that pants really hard like this haa haa haa? You know what it means?'

"That he's going to pass out?"

"No, Bob. It means he's turning into a dog."

"Haa haa haa."

"Felix, I think Desmond is turning into a dog!"

"No. He's just pretending to be a dog. That's totally different."

"I got a Puig!"

On Saturday he took a handful of wadded up one dollar bills and a baggie full of change from his piggie bank to the store to buy baseball cards. Because it is 1965.
