Nine-year-old nephew, on getting ruthlessly laser-blasted as he makes his way through the new Simpsons video game:
“Dude. That does not bode well.”
Me: Did you just say ‘that does not bode well?’
Nephew: Yeah.
Me: Gimme five, dude.
Nephew (too cool for it, but complying): Why?
Me: Because I just don’t think many nine-year-olds would use that phrase.
