Sunday morning in the Gatland household:

Mark: "What is assembly language?"

Mummy: "That's a question you'll have to ask Daddy."

Mark: "What is MS-DOS?"  [He's reading titles on a bookshelf in the study]

Mummy: "That's another question for Daddy, Mr. I-Love-Drains."

Mark: "My name isn't Mr. I-Love-Drains."

Mummy: "But you do love drains."

Mark: "I just love the way they connect."

Sara: "Me and Heather have figured out what we're going to do when we grow up. We're going to move in with Gramma and help her out."

Mark: "Won't she be dead by then?"

Sara: "MARK! That's a horrible thing to say!"

Mark: "Well, she will be more than 100."

Sara: "So? Jenny's gramma was 106."

Mark: "When is World War III?"

Mummy: "Mark! Why are you asking all these horrible questions this morning?"

Mark: "What, like, 'What is MS-DOS?'"

“Senator Obama has more money than God, the most favorable political climate imaginable — a three-week Wall Street meltdown and financial crisis — and with all that, the most margin he can get is four points?” said Bill McInturff, one of Mr. McCain’s pollsters. “That does speak to the questions there are about lack of experience, his candidacy, and other things that make people say, ‘Gosh, is he really ready?’ ” —ADAM NAGOURNEY and JEFF ZELENY, "Economic Unrest Shifts Electoral Battlegrounds," The New York Times October 4, 2008

 

 

E Wein: WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT, HOW MUCH MORE MONEY THAN OUR GUY DOES THE OTHER CANDIDATE HAVE IN HIS CAMPAIGN FUND, OMG 78(*£&$*(% [etc. etc., rant edited for brevity]

 

Sara: God doesn't have any money. God is always telling everyone to get rid of their money.

 

Mark: God doesn't have any money. He has POWER.
