Conversations with Owen, Vol. 1, Iss. IV

Owen and his father are returning home after school. Owen asks to watch TV, but is told that he is not allowed to do so.

Dad: "I'll get you a glass of milk, then you can have a cookie and we'll read a book or play a game."
Owen: "No, thanks. I didn't get a new book at school today."
Dad: "So you don't want to read a book?"
Owen: "You know what would make me really happy?"
Dad: "What?"
Owen: "Watching TV."
Dad: "I see."
Owen: "Because that's how I learn things. By watching TV."
Dad: "Nice try."

For the record, we built things with Lego.
