[On the school Fronter system, when a pop-up asks whether we want to allow an .exe file to run]
Mum: Do we want a program to run?
Boy: No! Press cancel! When you get a message like that, you HAVE to say ‘no’. Otherwise it will run – you know like the Coach tells us to run in PE?
Mum: Yes?
Boy: Well it will run like that – and that’s bad. DON’T let it run.

Me: Ah – is he flying?
D: No, he’s walking along… He’s lost his reindeer so he has to walk down the street.

Me: We’ve got to go to the Post Office to pick up a parcel.
D: Is it for me?
Me: No, I think it’ll be for me.
D: How do you know?
Me: Because I ordered some printer cartridges a couple of days ago and they said that they would be delivered in a couple of days.
D: Printer party juice?
Me: Printer CARTRIDGES – but I think ‘printer party juice’ sounds much better – like the printer has a party all over the paper!
D: I wish it was for me.
