Sitting in the chair this morning while Elliott wakes up...

Elliott: Daddy?
Mom: Daddy's at work this morning.
Elliott: Why?
Mom: He had to go in early.
Elliott: Why?
Mom: He has to make money for us.
Elliott: Why?
Mom: So we can eat and you can go to college.
Elliott: Why?
Mom: So you can grow strong and get an education.
Elliott: Why?
Mom: So you can get a good job and move out of the house.
