My nephew was wearing his STARSHIP Enterprise t- shirt again. I had on a PLAID flannel shirt.

We passed a fruit stand on the way to visit his grandparents. I figured I’d get a KUMQUAT and some oranges and bananas for the remainder of the trip.

“Unc Cott, What’s a PLATYPUS ?”, my 3 year old nephew asked.

“It’s a funny looking animal”, I said. The kid was always asking questions.

“What’s dat on you pocket Unca Cott?”

“INK”, I answered. My pen had exploded.

“Are we der yet?”

I couldn’t wait till we were.
