Rhetoric


Mom, can I have these scented markers?

Do you have money for them?

No, but I thought you could buy them for me as a supply for my art.

Jonathan, we have markers at home, sweety.

Yeah, but do any of them smell like dragon's blood?!?!!

...

Well?

OK, throw them in the cart.




Jonathan, is it a good idea to have markers up in bed when it's your time to get some reading in before bedtime?

Well, I was just translating the chorus of Jabberwocky into Dragonese.

Well. Um. OK. Carry on.
