We were eating breakfast at camp and I was sitting at this table with two sisters and one of the sisters says to her sister, "Do you eat everything one by one or do you move around from thing to thing?" And the older sister answers, "I eat everything one by one." And the little sister says, "I move around."
And I said, "One of your parents probably does one and one of your parents probably does the other. That's where you got it from. I'm sure of it. Everything you do is determined by your parents. Everything."
I was making it out to be some huge girl and the older sister says in a bone dry voice, "Oh yeah, Andy? Everything? Even your eye color?"
That's funny. The timing. The tone. I know it doesn't carry over to text but it was surgical execution.
