Me: It tries my patience. My hermit patience.
Steve: But not your smooth caress-able hermit crab carapace.
Me: 0_o
Steve: *sitting on the floor* *strokes my calf* Clack...clack...clack...
Me: 0_o
Steve: Clack?
Me: What the hell, man?
Steve: *sits next to me on the couch and puts his head on my shoulder* Who's my little hermit crab?
Me: Someone else!
Later:
Steve: Gah, parmesan attacks me!
Me: *as I leave the room* It's the ghost of parmesan getting revenge because you don't like it.
Steve: That's right, skitter away sideways!

Steve: Hey, don't forget the candle's still on.
Yep, regular set-something-on-fire candle, not one of the battery operated fake ones. What makes that particularly notable was that earlier I had idly thought "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if someone said 'turn off the candle' instead of 'blow it out'? Still doesn't beat
the apple pie thing, though.
