Notes on a conversation overheard at the gift shop at the Kennedy Space Center

“Can I get this, Mom? Can I, huh?”

“No.”

“It'll keep me quiet, and occupied and out of trouble and—”

“No.”

“But it'll shut me up.”

“Nothing ever shuts you up.”

“I'll pay you back!”

“No.”

“I'll pay you back even more!”

“You are so full of crap.”

“Awww Mom! sniff”
