Alex, upon getting into the car at school pickup, holds up this little “found thing”…
…and sings, in a low, monotone gravelly voice:
“Rudolph the Cyclops reindeer had a very evil eye
And if you ever saw it, you would probably-y DIE.”
Two days later, Nicholas and Michael are playing Star Wars: Battlefront:
Nicholas: “Yeah! I’m doing great. You’re just sad. Sad, sad, sad. You only have four points.That’s just sad.”
Michael: “And I’m still happy.”
