“What are you watching?”
“Football.”
“What are you watching football for, Daniel?”
“I like it when they kick the ball really high up in the air. Sometimes they kick it so high it goes off the top the screen!”
“Pffft. Anyone can do that. I can do that. I once kicked a ball into a tree.”
“We know, Claire.”
“And another time I kicked a ball over the house.”
“No you didn’t.”
“Shut up, Ethel. I did.”
“When?”
“When you weren’t there, obviously.”
“How did you kick a ball over the house when our ball is still stuck in the tree you kicked it into?”
“I did it before that. Obviously.”
“I once kicked the ball right over the school.”
“Don’t lie, Daniel. No one could kick a football over a school.”
“Not even Claire.”
“Shut up, Ethel. I could easily kick a football over the school. I once kicked a football right off the beach and it hit the horizon!”
“You didn’t.”
“I did!”
“You did not!”
“I did!”
“You did not!”
