Overheard...

I carpool because our school district is too small to warrant a bus.  Mondays and Thursdays are Chorus days, and the kids go in a half hour early for practice. And every Monday and Thursday, I pick up Josh's friend, whose name also happens to be Joshua (named for his father, Joshua), and the little taggalong brother, Trevor.

Joshua jumped into the van, and said, "Hey Josh, you get to the castle yet?"
Josh replied, "Yeah, I beat the game two times."
"Did you see the bug in there?" Joshua asked.
"Yeah, so?" Josh said.
"Didja beat it?"
"No way, it's too hard. Must be a high level bug." Josh said.
"I beat a level nine bug." Joshua bragged.
"Dude! I've only beaten a level seven. Dude!" Astonished Josh turned to goggle at Joshua in the back seat.
"Dude. It was hard. I had to like spit on it an' stuff." Joshua said.
"Dude, did you ever have to use the super acid spit?" Josh asked.
"Yeah dude. That spit is so cool." Joshua replied.
"EWwww," I said, "What kind of game is this, bugs and super acid spit? This sounds like a guy game for sure."
"Dude," Josh said, "It's just like rock, paper, scissors"
"Yeah, only way more cool," Joshua added.

"Did you just call me dude?"
