A Typical Table Conversation

Here's a typical conversation at the family dinner table (which happens at least once a week, sometimes more if we're lucky):

Kristin: "Rachel, tell me something fabulous about your day." And yes, I use words like fabulous.

Rachel: "Well, today, my Algebra teacher got all mad at the 8th graders in our class for making paper airplanes..."

Andy (interrupting): "Oh yeah? Do you want some pizza?" There's no pizza.

Kevin: "Andy, listen to Rachel."

Andy: "Well, did you know that I'm a tiger ninja?"

Kristin: "Andy, stop. Rachel, go on."

Rachel: "We've never seen him mad before, but I figured it would be those kids that would finally make him blow."

Andy: "Oh yeah? Do you want to see my super tiger ninja skills?"

Rachel: "No."

Andy: "Yeah, well, I'm more super than you."

Rachel: "No, you're not."

Andy: "Yes, I am. You are disgusting pits." No idea where that came from.

Rachel: "You're disgusting pits. Now be quiet."

Kristin: "Andy, put some food in your mouth."

Andy: "I am."

Kevin: "If there was food in your mouth, you wouldn't be talking right now."

Andy: "Yeah, well, did you know I'm a tiger ninja?" And it goes on and on and on.
