SAM: I’m over this camp thing.

ME: You’re not going to spend your entire summer vacation playing Minecraft.

SAM: Dang it.

ME: Dang it? Where did you learn that? No, never mind, don’t tell me. If you’re not going to go to camp, what else are you interested in doing this summer?

SAM: We could go to Disney World. Then we could go to Texas and Syracuse to visit my grandparents. Then we could spend a few weeks on Cape Cod. And I’ve always wanted to go to London.

ME: A few weeks on the Cape? London? Sure, why not. But why stop there? We could go to Paris, too. And then we could take a month or so and travel through Italy.

SAM: Hmm. I’m not sure if I’m interested in traveling through Italy.

ME: I think I’m going to spend the summer teaching you to recognize SARCASM.
