Functions
Mom: "Could you please stop shaking your water bottle? You're not doing anything wrong. I just have a headache and the noise of the ice rattling around is pretty loud."
Luke: [age 7] "I can't help it. It's just one of my... bottle-y functions."
Mom: "Oh, that was bad."
Luke: "C'mon, it was funny."

Drinking beer
Luke: [age 7] "Are you drinking beer?"
Me: [holding an open beer bottle] "No, this is for the pizza dough." [gestures to breadmaker and other ingredients] "We're having pizza tonight. I'm prepping the dough now."
Luke: "But I just saw you drink from the bottle."
Me: "Well, yeah, of course I took a swig. This is good beer."
Luke: "But we haven't even had breakfast yet."
Me: "That's why I only took a swig. The rest is for the dough. I don't drink alcohol except with supper."
Luke: "You mean, except with supper /and/ when you're making pizza dough."
Me: "If you like."
Luke: "Can I have a taste?"
Me: "No."
