The conversation between myself, one of my sisters, and my children, as the kids and I were taking off after this past weekend's visit down to Southern Illinois:
Me: Well, we're not going to go straight to [the kid's mom's house]. I'll probably take a few side trips along the way.
Sister (to my kids): Is your dad adventurous?
Kids (with more than a hint of exasperation ): Yes!
Son: Dad's like a cross between Peter Pan, a monkey, and a mad scientist.
Sister: Well, I can see Peter Pan and a mad scientist, but I don't get the monkey.
Me: You know, Darwin.
Sister: Oh, right, the monkey from the Wild Thornberry's. I can see that.
Me: I meant Charles Darwin, the theory of evolution?
Son: No, I meant Dad acts like a monkey.
