Occupy dinner?

While eating dinner...
Raviv: lets have a conversation, mommy
Me: Ok, what do you want to talk about?
Raviv: Wooshee gaga.
Me: Raviv, How do you feel about the Occupy Wall Street movement?
Raviv: Good!
Me: How do you feel about the Tea Party?
Raviv: Good!
Me: Why?
Raviv: they're talking
me: Good point, they really have changed the national discourse. You know, a lot of people in this country are fighting over money right now, and who has how much. What do you think about that?
Raviv: Rip it up!
Me: Rip up the money?
Raviv: Yes, turn it into quarters!
Me: Then what?
Raviv: Share it! Then eat it all up!

Apples to Apples

In the morning rush to get out the door...

Raviv: I'm going to play my games (goes and pulls out two board games that a) are not his and b) have tons of pieces/cards. The night before he sat for 20 minutes placing playing chips on top of the cars nice and quietly)
Bil: Don't let him play with those!
Me: What's the big deal?
Raviv dumps the entire box of apples to apples, complete with 500 playing cards, onto the floor.
Me: Oh.
