Sebastian is our fifteen-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. 

On a recent trip to visit a few colleges, a former classmate of Sebastian’s boarded the plane after us and they had the following exchange as she passed his seat.

Former classmate (apparently not knowing he would be on the plane): “No way!”

Sebastian (accompanied with an acknowledging head nod): “Hrmph.”

After she sat in her seat, they spent the next several minutes before takeoff furiously texting one another.

She was in the row behind him.

She also happens to be the cousin of Beyoncé Knowles. Yes, the Beyoncé.

Me: “She texts her cousin just like you text yours…”

Sebastian: “I would text Kendall [his cousin] way more if she was Beyoncé.”
