DINO: I was spoking not a word, but went straight to my work.

PRINCESS: (sings loudly) Joy to the world, the Lord is done!

DINO: I want to open number four now. (Advent calendar)
ME: Sorry, son, that’s for tomorrow.
DINO: WHAT?!?!? I don’t like that.
ME: Advent’s all about patience, son.
DINO: I don’t LIKE patience.
Of course, if we all liked having to practice patience, what would be the point of Advent as a mini-penitential season?
