Carrie and I had been discussing a replacement for the kids’ CD-player, which died.

Me: “So, we could get a Sonos for them. It’s $200 –“
Ezra: “I WANT A SONOS!”
Me: “You are not part of this conversation yet.”
Phineas: “But I am!”
Me: “No, you are not.”
Ezra: “Why are we not part of this conversation?”
Me: “Because it hasn’t reached the kids’ phase of the discussion.”
Ezra: “When will it reach the kids’ phase of the discussion?”
Carrie: “Never, if you keep interrupting…”

The kids return to making loud hooting noises.
