Christian had been at a friend's house where he played a video game for a significant period of time.  Lately he has not had much, if any, screen time at home, so this was quite different for him.  At dinner he complained of a headache, and so we were discussing how video games were not that great for a variety of reasons. Mike said,"Christian, when you are out in nature [Christian is on a loving nature kick lately] do you see anything that flashes really fast [imagine hand motions, like blinking lights really fast] in front of your face?"  Just as quick as those flashes to which Mike was referring, Christian responded,"A lizard when he..." and Christian made a zipping noise and wiggled his hand back and forth like a fast lizard. Mike and I looked at one another, barely able to suppress a great deal of laughter.  And Mike admitted that that was one of the funniest things he had heard. Clever, aren't they?
