A conversation...

Son: Mom, I need some tweezers.

Mom: Mmmhmm, ok hunny. (only partially listening to the request as I was busy with 4 other things at the time).

Son: So, where are the tweezers?

Mom: What do you need them for?

Son: For my ear.


Mom: You don't put tweezers in your ear. (Still distracted).

Son: But there's string in there...

Mom: (now ALL of my attention is on him) WHY is there string in your ear? You don't put stuff in your ear!

Son: Well I was trying to do a magic trick and pull string out of my ear, but it got stuck...
