While discussing whether or not one of Eamon's classmates should join him in the ALERT (honors) program at school...
Eamon:  "Well, ALERT does help you step up a level to knowledge."
Me:  "Is that the program's motto?"
Eamon:  "No, I just made that up."
Me:  "Really?!"
Eamon:  "Yeah."
Me:  "I see."
Eamon then went on to expound on all the wonders of his ALERT program... 
Me:  "Why don't you tell your friend all of that and see if that convinces him?"
Eamon:  <seriously>  "Ok. I'll do my best to convince him to join ALERT."
Me:  <laughing at his exagerrated seriousness>  "Well, if anyone can do it, it's you!"
Eamon:  <solemnly>  "Thanks."
