Sam: The new companion looks beautiful and you look beautiful too.
Katie: Thank you Sam.
Sam: You both have the perfect amount of beauty only it is different. There are two types and both are beautiful.
Scot: Sam, you are so sweet.
Sam: Oh never mind, you don’t get it.

Katie and Scot are watching an interview with Jim Butcher. Someone asked if Harry Dresden is a Red Sox fan or a White Sox fan.
Katie: (paused the video) Do they have both kinds of socks?
Scot: Yes the Red Sox and the White Sox are both baseball teams. Actually now the Red Sox are just the Reds.
Katie: If the Red Socks and the White Socks fight on the same field and it rains, would all their socks turn pink? Do they actually wear red and white socks?
Scot: I think they do but it is spelled SOX.
Katie: What? That is stupid.

Joey: The sky is all pink. That is really cool looking.
Scot: That is from the sun setting.
Joey: Oh now look, the sky is not as pink, but now the ground looks pink.
Katie: The ground at the Garden of the Gods always looks pinkish.
Joey: If I could go to the Garden of the Gods.
Me: You have been to the Garden of the Gods two times.
Joey: If I could spend an hour there.
Me: You have spent several hours there two different times.
Joey: Well, if I could do whatever I wanted, I would walk through all of the plants just to annoy people.
Me: What plants?
Scot: It is a bunch of rocks and you can walk all over them and climb them.
Me: I have pictures of you on those rocks. I have pictures of all of us on those rocks. Remember the picture of you that looks like you are holding up a huge rock.
Joey: Yes but those are red and not pink.

Katie: (setting a stack of CD’s next to Scot) You could copy these CD’s onto your hard drive while you are working.
Scot: I don’t know if I have software on this computer that will do that. (Work laptop)
Katie: You should have Windows Media Player and that should do it.
Scot: But doesn’t that only do WMA files? I don’t like WMA files. I like MP3’s and OGG’s.
Katie: It used to – I – I think it used – It used – I think it – I – I think – I think it – I – I don’t know.
Scot: Okay, thanks. I think I feel a headache coming on.
11 Sunday Aug 2013
Sam: I made up a really funny joke, but now I can only remember the punch line. It is, “Get out of my house.” Does that sound like a good punch line?
Scot: It does, but I would love to know the rest of the joke.
Sam: Is it a knock knock joke?
Scot: I don’t know I did not make it up.
Sam: Does it sound like it would be a good knock knock joke?
Scot: Sure. It could be a great joke.
Sam: Do you think it is funny?
Scot: Yes I do.

Sam: What age do you have to be to be an alcoholic?
Me: Well, I guess anyone can be an alcoholic at any age, but the drinking age is 21 in the United States and there are not many alcoholics who are under the age of 21.
Sam: I think I might be like an alcoholic. I drink a lot.
Me: An alcoholic drinks a lot of alcohol. Things like beer and wine. You don’t drink that, you drink mostly water and water is good for you.
Sam: I just meant that I am LIKE an alcoholic.
Me: Okay, but you don’t drink alcohol so I think you are safe.

Katie: They had Sriracha to put on the hot dogs.
Me: What is Sriracha exactly?
Katie: It is like an Asian Texaco sauce.
Me: (At this point I am thinking a mixture of barbecue and taco sauce or some type of Asian gasoline) Texaco sauce?
Katie: You know, that really hot sauce.
Me: (Laughing) That would be Tabasco sauce.
Katie: Oh, I knew it started with a T and ended with CO.

While driving to the University of Portland:
Joey: Did you just see that house? It was orange with red trim.
Me: I did not see it, but that sounds weird.
Joey: It was and I bet it attracts a lot of bugs.
Me: What?
Joey: Bugs like bright colors, that is why flowers are so bright.
