Isaac [angry]:  “Why do you always think you’re the boss of me?!”
Richard:  “Because I am the boss of you.”
Isaac:  “That’s not fair!”
Richard: “Fair has nothing to do with it.”
Isaac: “Don’t say that!”

Richard [to Isaac and friend who are playing with plastic tubes]: ‘”Don’t run through the house carrying tubes of dirt.”
Isaac [indignant]: “It’s not dirt, it’s gunpowder!”
Richard: “I guess that’s okay then. . . .”

Isaac:  “What if Mom never comes back [from the store]?”
Richard: “Well, we would have to figure something out.”
Isaac:  “I know, we can become ‘roners” and roam the country!”
Richard:  “You mean ‘loners’?”
Isaac:  “Yeah, them!”
Richard:  “You know, that’s a pretty good idea.  I’m good at that.”
Isaac: “Okay, but lets not go where there are volcanoes.”

During a 100° heatwave
Doctor:  “You’ve been working outside in this heat?”
Richard: “Yes.  It’s not that bad”
Doctor: “Doesn’t that aggravate your asthma?”
Richard: “Sure.  Last week I was in a 10ft deep hole working for awhile.  That really made the asthma flare up.”
Doctor: [long pause] “Really?  You’re serious?  That’s what you do when your asthma is acting up?”
Richard: “Well, not always. . . “

Richard: “Hi Isaac. What are you doing?”
Isaac: “Talking to you on the phone.”
Richard:  “Um, okay.  What were you doing before that.”
Isaac: “Trying to call you.  Your ringer must be broken!”
