ME: Guess what, Grammy? Julius is now a member of the Little Folks Drama Club. He’s going to be acting, just like his father.
GRAMMY: Now there’s something to look forward to. I hope he’s better at it than his father, otherwise you’re going to have two men to support.
ME: I don’t support, Jules, Grammy.
GRAMMY: No. You just give him your hard-earned cash while he loafs. Too bad we don’t live in a time before DNA and fingerprints. We could arrange a nice little accident for the loser. Or better yet, I could challenge him to a duel.
ME: Jules would never agree to that, Grammy. He loathes guns. And why are we even talking about this?
GRAMMY: Damned if I know. You’re the one who brought it up.
ME: Me? I was talking about Julius. They’re picking parts today for Peter and the Wolf. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he got to play Peter?
GRAMMY: Sure would. He’d get to carry a rifle and capture a wolf.
ME: Peter carries a rifle?
GRAMMY: (forming rifle with hands) Sure does. KABOOM!
