A good day to fly a kite
Luke: “Today would be a good day to fly a kite.”
Me: (looking out the window) “Except that there’s no wind, and it’s 18 degrees.”
Luke: “I meant, you could drive really fast down the interstate and I could fly the kite out the window.”
Me: “No.”
Luke: “We would have to watch out for bridges.”
Me: “No.”
Luke: “And power lines.”
Me: “No!”
Luke: “Well /I/ thought it sounded like fun.”

Me: “Hmmm... how did you get that open?”
Luke: “It’s a child-safe cap, right?”
Me: “It used to be.”
Luke: “[...] told me how to do it: push, then turn.”
Me: “What else did he tell you?”
Luke: “Well... can I see your iPhone?”
Me: “No.”
