“Dad. You know how I’m in a band?”
“Yes.”
“A musical band?”
“Yes, Trevor, unfortunately I do. One can’t really help but notice the noise…”
“You know how my guitar broke?”
“I’m sure everyone this side of the continent knows.”
“Did you read my Christmas list?”
“What, the one you stapled to the dining room table? Yes, I think I may have seen that one.”
“Yeah, but did you read it?”
“Of course I did!”
“There’s a fish in my stocking.”
“You asked for a bass.”
“Dad, I literally hate you.”
