Sebastian is our fourteen-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. 

Sebastian’s older brother, Nathan, has been home from college this week and the two boys wanted to go see the new Black Panther movie. As such, Sebastian was perusing the showtimes at our local theater on his cellphone…

Sebastian: “There are shows at 10:30, 11;45, 1:00,…”

Nathan (interrupting): “Let’s go early so that we can go play basketball later.”

Seba (continuing to examine his phone): “Dad, am I a ‘muh-teeny’?”

Me: “Huh?”

Seba: “Am I an “adult ‘muh-teeny’?”

Me: “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Seba: “It says children are 13 and under, then there is ‘adult’ and ‘adult muh-teeny’. Which one am I?”

Nathan (after grabbing his brother’s phone): “You dope, it’s pronounced ‘matinee’.”
