Sebastian is our twelve-year-old son and he says some of the funniest things–we have no idea where he gets his material since his mother and I are rather boring, serious people. 

It was (once again) riddle time…

Nathan: “What needs to be broken before you can use it?”

Seba: “Well, it’s one of two things.  (Pause). One of those light stick things that you have to crack to have it light up.”

Nathan: “Um no. What is your other guess?”

Seba: “Ummm.”

Me: “Sebastian, can you get me the wine from the fridge? It’s next to the eggs.”

Seba: “Dad, be quiet, you just made me forget what I was thinking! What wine do you want?”

Me: “The bottle next to the EGGS.”

Seba: “There is no wine next to the eggs.”

Me: “I give up.”
