This is a real conversation that took place while the kids were playing soccer. Emily and I were TOTALLY HELPING (and by that I mean, standing on the field, having a conversation).
Oren: Oi!
Me: People don't really say oi in America...
Emily: Kyle says 'Ahoy' to me. On Facebook chat.
Me: Did you know that Alexander Graham Bell wanted people to say 'Ahoy' when they answered the phone?
Kyle: (running by, playing soccer) Yes, he did!
Me: Do you think Kyle is trying to emulate Alexander Graham Bell?
Emily: Maybe. Let's ask.
Me: Kyle, do you admire Alexander Graham Bell?
Kyle: No.
Me: Kyle, do you have disdain for Alexander Graham Bell?
Kyle: No. I have nothing for Alexander Graham Bell.
Me: So you're apathetic toward Alexander Graham Bell?
Kyle: Alexander Graham Bell is nothing to me.
Me: That sounds like disdain!
Kyle: No!
... Later ...
Me and Emily: Ahoy!
