Dinner

So here is typical dinner conversation at my house...

Me: So, did everyone have a good day today?
Boy: Yes.
Man: Yes.
Me: Well, today I ran into an old girlfriend of mine who just returned from an around the world cruise with husband number EIGHT and their 2 children whom they adopted after their house was burned to the ground in a freak 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey' incident and they were on their way to Greece because the new husband actually is a secret agent who is now assigned there to investigate some shady dealings on the topsy-turvey financial market but first they need to find a temporary home for the horses they adopted from an old racehorse rescue group...gee it was good to see her!
Me: (to son) What did you do today?
Boy: I made a candy cane so sharp that I could stab myself with it. (Man looks up with interest)
Man: Oh yea? (hereafter ensues a fifteen minute conversation between Boy and Man regarding the technical aspects of the construction and engineering of the super sharp candy cane of death, the practical applications of such a weapon and the discussion of how manufacture could be mass-produced).
Me: -sigh-
