Michael: Where's dad?
Elly: At work
Michael: Where?
Elly: At work
Michael: Hmm? Where's dad?
Elly: HE WENT TO THAILAND IN A ROWBOAT!!

Michael: Hello?.. Sorry, my dad isn't home right now... He went to Thailand in a rowboat.
I did something similar with my uncle when I was Michael’s age. I was at my grandparents’ house, he was in the shower, and his then-girlfriend came over. I knocked on the bathroom door and yelled, “Uncle Max! Jen’s here!” He asked, “Does she still look like she swallowed a lemon?”

So I went downstairs and asked her.
