Parachute

  • **At the dinner table, discussing plans to make parachutes for G.I. Joe figures**
  • Sammy: We could use a plastic bag from the grocery store.
  • Daddy: No, I don't think that will be quite big enough. I think we'll cut up a trash bag and use that.
  • Sammy: So we'll need a trash bag, and some scissors, and string and tape.
  • Eli: How big would it have to be to throw Abraham off the bridge?
  • Daddy: Much bigger. But we aren't going to do that, so don't worry about it.
  • Sammy: We could throw him off the bridge and he could land in a boat.
  • Daddy: Nope, we aren't throwing him off the bridge.

Brave Men

  • Sammy: Daddy, there really are some brave men in the world.
  • Daddy: Oh yeah?
  • Sammy: Yeah. When we were at the park today I saw a man with no shirt on and he had a tattoo on his chest that went right up to his nipple.
  • Daddy: Wow, that is brave.
  • Sammy: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
