Boys are watching Saturday morning cartoons, I'm upstairs geeking in the study. Daniel comes running upstairs.

Daniel: ::bouncing up and down, speaking very fast:: There's this really cool show that I'm watching, and there's a fence that's got a magnetic shield, and it's impossible to get through, but there's this lady, and she takes off her leg and goes zzzzmph! and goes right through and it's so cool-
Me: You know you're missing it right now, right?
Daniel: Oh!! Right! ::scampers back down the stairs::
