Me: dude you know how old I was when I first got an iPhone?
Wee boy: how old?
Me: I was 30. You know how crazy it is that 11 year olds get upset that they can’t have theirs during dinner?

Marley (after making Matthew take his laundry downstairs): I want you to help with these things so you understand what kinds of things you need to do to keep up our house
Wee Boy: mom, I understand all things it takes around here! Well, most of the things. Okay not really much at all.
