Wee Boy: So Dave, what would you rather eat? Maggot infested cheese or germ infested cheese?
Me: Well I wouldn’t want either
Wee Boy: well let’s say you had no choice, what would you choose?
Me: oh, I guess germ infested cheese
Wee Boy: Yeah good choice. I was thinking I’d probably do the same

Wee Boy: Dave what company is this lizard for?
Me:Geico..it’s an insurance company.

Me: it’s a service you pay for so when you have a car accident, they cover the costs.
Wee Boy: are they a lot of money?
Me: Oh yeah. Accidents can cost thousands of dollars
Wee Boy: What?! And I’m supposed to trust my insurance with a lizard?!
