I understand there comes a point in every parent’s life when their children talk about something that is over their head.
Conversation overheard this morning at the Huff House:
Players:
Dad – Played by Brian Huff
Daughter – Played by Ashton Huff
Son – Played by Grant Huff for comic relief.
Scene:
Interior of the Huff House, we see the living room with a table and chairs from the breakfast area scattered around. It’s obvious someone has mopped the floors. Several Care Bear stuffed characters sit on the different chairs that all have been lined up into 3 rows.
Dad
You guys playing airplane?
Ashton
No, we’re playing space ship, and you are standing in our engine room.
Dad quickly moves away fearing a serious burn.
Dad moves into the kitchen to make coffee.
Dad:
Where are you guys heading to?
Grant
SPACE!
Ashton
Well, we were hoping to make it to Jupitor, but as we got near Mars we saw a black hole that was caused by a Super Nova. We got scared and I pressed the hyperdrive button. That was a real mistake dad because we launched passed Mars and when we got near Jupitor we were pulled into a Worm Hole.
Dad looks on in silence
Ashton
But that’s ok, because the Worm Hole ejected us near Pluto, which is where I live so I knew the neighborhood really well.
Dad
Wow, you know what a Worm Hole is?
Grant
Worms are Coooolllll, that’s awesome!
Ashton
Yes, when a sun implodes it goes Super Nova and gravity gets warped. If you’re not careful you can end up all the way across the galaxy in one. But that’s ok, I know this galaxy pretty well. You can ride with me if you like.
Dad
Thanks, can you drop me off in my office? I have a few emails to send out.
Ashton
Sure dad, but I need fuel first.
Dad
Of course, I understand
Grant
I po-po’ed.
