The boy, attempting to put together a little foam jigsaw cube: Man, this is SO difficult!
Me: So, did you have a good time at Dad's work yesterday?
Him, still concentrating: Yeah, I guess so. They gave me this cube puzzle.
Me: That's cool. What else happened? I heard you had a treasure hunt, and a movie and a tour.
Him, concentrating heavily, hesitating, quietly cursing the cube: Uh, yeah. We did.
Me: Was that fun?
Him, exasperated with the cube, finally putting down to address me directly: Not really. Some fat guy got angry cause I farted in his cube.
Me, dissolving into gales of laughter. Him too.
