Two Conversations With Hero This Morning

1:

Me: *Sleeping*. [My mouth is suddenly full of chocolate]. *Sputter*.

Hero: Chocolate makes you verrry happy.

Me: *Sputter*

Hero: Are you happy now? I forgot to do something.

Me: Huh? What did you forget?

Hero: I forgot to go to the toilet. I had an accident. You're not angry. You're verrry happy.

2:

Me: *Washing dishes, listening to podcasts*

Thomas Mullaney on my podcast: I'm working on a history of the typewriter in China. I'm thinking of calling it "The Typing Rebellion".

Me: *Laughs heartily*. [I find puns unironically hilarious].

Hero: *Rushes into the kitchen*. What is it? What's funny??

Me: He said... The guy said "typing rebellion". It was funny.

Hero: *Pretends to laugh loudly for a second then stops cold*. But it wasn't.

Me: It wasn't?

Hero: You laugh at the wrong things, mom. *Shakes his head, leaves the room*.
