Watching one of the Jurassic Park movies:
16yo brother: *identifying every dinosaur whether real or one of the fictional hybrids on sight by scientific name and rattling off facts about them*
Me: That is a big sharp-tooth...

When you are a writer and your family isn't... but like scifi.
Me: (Referencing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) "I never understood how the babble fish was supposed to prove the existence of God..."
Mom: "Because it's a fish that translates every language in the universe if you put it in your ear."
Me: "Yeah..."
Mom: "It's a fish! The only way that could exist is if God created it. And on proving that, Man has proven God, who exists on faith and vanishes in a poof of logic."
Me: "But that doesn't prove the existence of God."
Mom: "It's a fish. How else could it exist?"
Me: "It could be biotech from an ancient space faring civilization, which died out. And as a fish it would automatically reproduce, and since it was useful species everywhere would be encouraged to keep it around."
Mom: "What? But it knows every language."
Me: "Yeah... so it's like a more advanced universal translator."
Mom: "Which is more likely?"
Me: "You didn't ask me that. You asked me how else a fish like that could exist. I've provided an alternative and therefore I have made belief in God based on faith again... Which means I've saved God."
Godfather: "Well then that was a productive conversation!"
(Mom and Godfather laughing hysterically.)

Random Turtle Thoughts
Just a conversation I had with my mother that I thought was amusing.
As y'all can tell I'm a very “casual” TMNT fan.

Oh my god! I love my dad! He asked if Bucky and Steve were engaged yet. I said in my universe they are. My little sis was like they’re not together and my dad scoffed at her. 😂🤣 I love how I turned my dad into a Stucky shipper. I love my family!

Sister: Why don’t you wanna hallucinate about llamas? Do you not like llamas?
Me: No they’re fine but I don’t wanna waste my hallucination time on llamas.

X(24) & D(17): *having a contest of if we can remember all the PJO prophecies*
S(10): When Thalia eventually gets turned back human-ish, is she older or younger than Percy?
X: Older. It happens at the end of the 2nd book, so she's still about 2y older than Percy.
S: OK. So the 'reach 16 against all odds' prophecy is hers not Percy's.
X: No, cause she freezes her age again.
S: What? How? Why?
X: The day before her 16th birthday she joins the Hunters of Artemis, and Artemis is the goddess of protecting little girls, so as long as they don't date, her little huntresses don't grow up.
S: OK, but why? Cause giving that prophecy to Percy seems kinda mean.
X: *trying very hard to be honest while not to give any immediate spoilers for the show* ...well the traitor from the first quest is helping the big-baddie and is someone Thalia is very close to, and she can't force herself to fight them directly.
S: *completely deadpan* I know Luke is the traitor.
X: ...what makes you say that?
S: His dad is Hermes the god of thieves, and the bolt was stolen. And Percy only has three friends, and it's OBVIOUSLY not either Annabeth or Grover cause that's not how this kind of story goes. So it has to be Luke.
X: Fair enough. Yeah. Thalia doesn't want to fight Luke, and doesn't want to have to decide the fate of the world tomorrow, so she pauses her age and lets Percy deal with it in book 5.
