I was listening to NPR's Sunday morning puzzle show. They were doing a thing where they said 2 words and then the contestant had to think of a word that combined the two. For instance, they'd say, "War/Thumb." And the contestant would have to say "RULE!" (Rule of War/ Rule of Thumb).
Soooo - after it becomes clear what the object is, NPR says: "Fancy/Stairs." Wm screams from behind me, "FLIGHT!" I didn't even know he was listening! He then proceeded to get every answer before either I or the NPR contestant could get them. That kid is either going to end up ruling the world or hacking out code in a cubical and taking care of his 27 cats (and possibly sending mysterious packages from a cabin in the woods).
Me at breakfast this morning: [lame joke]
Wm: You should have been a comedian!
Me: Are you being sarcastic?
Wm: No! You're funny! You always make me laugh.
Steve: [not impressed]
