Bob: When does [Superman Returns] come out— Wednesday? (checking…) Ah, yep. the 28th.
AAl: Maybe I’ll go see it like Thursday afternoon. Although with school out, that tactic isn’t as sound as it was a month ago.
Bob: Ja. I have to avoid the roving bands of teenage thugs around our apartment now.
AAl: Thuggee Guards?!
Bob: Not nearly as entertaining.
AAl: Do they at least say “goany go-go”?
Bob: They just sneer at me and every once in a while ask for beer. And when I look at them like they’re crazy— like I’m gonna give them, already little assholes, alcohol to further loosen their stupid inhibitions to yell loudly outside my window at 3 am, they just sneer and make more snide comments.
AAl: Heh. It amazes me you’re such a decent parent when you clearly don’t understand child psychology.
Bob: Snide‘s probably the wrong word— gives them too much credit. They’re not that clever.
