At school...
Random Student: "Hi, I need a computer?"
Me: "Ok, I need your pass."
RS: <smiling and shaking his head at me as if I'm confused> "Oh, no. See, I'm a Senior."
Me: "You still need a pass to come in to the library."
RS: <bewildered> "But I'm a senior. I'm done with classes."
Me: "If you're all done with classes, then you should leave campus."
RS: <starting to get desperate> "But I'm still enrolled here!"
Me: <speaking slowly so he can understand the confusing words coming out of my mouth> "If you're still enrolled, then you still need a pass to come into the library during class time."
RS: <blinking confusedly at me b/c I am immune to his Senior-ness>
Me: "Sweetie, go to whatever class you're supposed to be in right now and ask your teacher for a pass and then you can come back in to use the computer."
RS: <dejectedly> "Oh. Ok."
He did come back with a pass but he brought another Senior with him and that kid was lacking a library pass so I had practically the same conversation all over again! Augh! These kids... ;)

At home...
Me: "Mark, have you put in your contacts yet today?"
Mark: <suspiciously> "Yes. Why?"
Me: "You didn't open the new contact solution bottle."
Mark: "I didn't need any contact solution."
Me: "What?! Why not?!"
Mark: "Because I had enough in the contact lens case. Why does it matter?"
Me: <going into full whine mode> "Because you NEVER open the contact solution bottle. EVER! You always leave it for me to do!"
Mark: "That's not true. I've opened it plenty of times."
Me: "Fine. If you've opened it plenty of times then you won't mind doing it now."
Mark: "You really want me to open it?"
Me: "Yes!"
Mark: "Fine. <gets the bottle; struggles with the bottle> Geez, this is hard to do. I see why don't like doing it..."
Me: "I KNEW IT!! I KNEW YOU'VE NEVER OPENED IT BEFORE! Because if you had, you'd have known what a pain in the butt it is to open that stupid bottle!"
Mark: <grins sheepishly at me>
All I can is it's a good thing for him that he's cute... ;)
