Car Talk
M: Turner you just paved your own road to hell.
T: Stupid farmer!
M: (throws Japanese candy at his brother)
(screaming, apparent flicking, malicious giggles, threats from the driver’s seat about what happens to little trouble mongers who don’t behave in the car)
T: So what? you are a stupid elephant.
M: (in an alarmingly rapid and singsongy voice) Elephants don’t wear z-straps. Elephants don’t wear pants. Elephants don’t wear yellow underwear. Elephants don’t wear ben ten shirts. Elephants don’t ride in car seats. Elephants don’t throw Japanese candy (small thwack sound and scream from turner as Max does not stop litany) Elephants don’t have bookbags. Elephants don’t have moms….named crse. Elephants don’t have haircuts…….(I can hear the smiling threat in his taunt) but know what Turner? Elephants DO kill their brothers named Turner!
Me: MAX ALEXANDER YOU DO NOT SAY THAT
M: (without changing tone or missing a beat) Sorry mom. Elephants DO DESTROY their brothers named Turner.
Remember the Christopher Walken driving scene in Annie Hall? Yeah.
