Conversations with my sons: #2

My sons are quite the comedy team.  They get along as well as any parents could hope.  I never lack for a chuckle or an outright belly laugh as I listen to them converse with each other.  Their typically insult-ridden banter is as close as they get to a PDA (Public Display of Affection).  I know, I probably am not doing my parental duty by encouraging them with laughter but one can hardly help it.

As Tom and I are having coffee in the kitchen one recent morning, I ask:

Me:  Can you and Sam take the Christmas lights off the front of the house today?
Tom:  Sure.

Later...

Me:  Thanks for taking the lights down today, boys.
Sam:  (Smiling) It only took about two minutes to do.  We spent more time insulting each other before we actually got started.

Charming, I'm sure.
