Sam:  You know, I have a pretty good childhood, but I sure wish I had more rights.  I have a spell book in my mind and I am going to look for a spell to make someone 5 years older.  Then I will be closer to 18.  There are some bad spells in there too.  I don’t think that they should even be in there.  What would Dumbledore think of the spell to make you older?

Scot:  I think that he would think it was a powerful spell.

Sam:  You know that spells are not real right?  Can I have a burger for dinner?

Sam:  The metal team that is in my mind are a very advanced civilization.  They live in a city that is so technologically advanced, that we cannot even believe the things they can do.  They are way more advanced than any of our cities.  (whispers to me)  I think it might actually be Tokyo.

Going, Going, Argon

(We have been learning about the periodic table)

Sam:  Mom, do you think I should add Argon to my metal team?

Me:  Argon is not a metal.

Sam:  I know that, but there is no gas team and if there was they would be evil and Argon is not evil.  So, do you think I should add Argon to the metal team?

Me:  I don’t think I would, because the name of the team is “The Metal Team.”

Sam:  What if I told you that it’s origin was from a machine that could turn gas into metal and turn metal back into gas?  And what if I told you that Argon was a person and he absorbed all of himself and then climbed into the machine and became a metal?  Argon is really cool.

Me:  I guess it would be okay then.

Sam:  Maybe we could add a few more gasses to the metal team.  This could be really interesting.  I need to go think about other elements; like Argon’s best friend Carbon.

Sam:  I have a great idea for a Christmas gift for Grandpa.

Me:  What is it?

Sam:  A hearing aid.  I think that would really help Grandpa to hear us better.

Me:  You cannot just buy someone a hearing aid, they have to go to a doctor, and they are expensive.

Sam:  We need to start saving now for December gifts.  Did you know that hearing aids send electric signals to the brain so that you can hear what people are saying?

Me:  I think you might be talking about cochlear implants, hearing aids just magnify the sound and just make it louder so you can hear.

Sam:  What are cochlear implants?

Me:  They are devices that are implanted near your ear and they send electric signals to the brain or nerves and then that is somehow translated into sounds.  They are for people who are deaf or almost deaf.

Sam:  Well, Grandpa is not deaf, but that is a good thing to keep in mind for later when he is.

Sam:  Mom, can we go to Canada?

Me:  Maybe someday.  What do you want to see in Canada?

Sam:  I think it would be a great place to visit, because their prisons are one hundred percent escape-proof.

Oh What A Tangled Web He Weaves

Sam:  What do you think Optimus Prime would think if he found a store that only sells scams and their motto is, “we put the fun in no refunds?”

Scot:  That is funny.

Sam:  I wonder what it would be like to be you.

Me:  I would love to spend an hour in your mind, because you think so differently than I do.

Sam:  Do you think that is an appropriated slogan, because all they sell are scams?   All of the spiders I encounter are harmless to humans.

Me:  Because spiders and scams go well together.

Sam:  Well, you wanted to spend an hour in my mind.

Scot:  Touche!
