Sammy the Internet Service Provider

Sammy turned on the internet (actually the cable modem connection to the internet).  After a few minutes he notices Daddy turning on his computer.

Sammy: (teasingly) Hey Daddy, I turned on the internet so you don't have to wait 5 minutes for it to turn on.  Are you happy?

Daddy: Yes, I'm delirious....  Do you know what 'delirious' means?

Sammy: NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!  Do not try to teach me anything when it's not time to study.  I don't want to learn anything new!  Don't you dare teach me...

Breaking Bad Rice

The family has been watching Breaking Bad on DVD.  It's Sammy's job to cook rice  (Sammy's 11 years old).  Sometimes it takes a lot of reminders, especially when he's in front of the computer, which is All.The.Time.  He tries to delay having to do the chore by pretending to not know what it is he needs to do.

Daddy: Sammy, cook the rice.

Sammy: Cook meth?

Press '1' to Go Away

Daddy called the home number from the office.  Sammy answered the phone.  He knew it was Daddy calling.

Sammy: (In automated voice recorder tone) You have reached Sammy's number.  If you want to talk to Sammy, please press '1'.  If you are Daddy, please go away. BEEEEEEP.

Sammy was busy playing on the computer.  Desperately enjoying the last day of term break (he doesn't know there's one more week of vacation left). 

He had just finished doing the Gauss Year 7 exam and Daddy wants to review his mistakes.

Daddy: Sammy, come on, let's review your mistakes.

Sammy:  (hard at play on the computer) Daddy, please, you know better than that...
