Boone: Yeah?
Me: Yeah.

Me: Okay, I admit it’s a bit annoying, but this should still be new and wondrous for you.
Boone: Really.
Me: How can you be so cynical? You’re not even one-year-old.
Boone: My brain is developing at an exponential rate. That damn piano riff got old about a day after I discovered it.
Me: You don’t seem bored with your winky.

Boone: Hey, Wyatt! I’m going to pull on this stack of burp cloths!
Wyatt: Wahoo!
