Raconteur

We went up to the diner for dinner tonight.

Now around our house, we like to say that if D-'s awake he's talking but on the way home, D- was exceptionally voluble. He was asking things like "Daddy, how many Beach Boys were there? Could I be the fifth Beach Boy?" There was just a whole stream of steady words coming out of his mouth.

Finally, I commented that perhaps he could tone down the level of words just a bit.

"Tone it down? If it weren't for me you wouldn't have most of the conversations you have!"

And that's why I like him around.
