little tobin: well now that was not what I expected.
daughter: really? why?
little tobin: he was just much too sweet, not so vicious.
daughter: and what was up with that growth on edward norton’s face?
so distracting
little tobin: oh yeah i couldn’t even look at him on-screen.
daughter: ditto
little tobin: but I loved it.
daughter: yup me TOO! loved it!
little tobin: 4 stars, definitely recommend.
(upon entering the offices no one is there to greet us,
we both panic but see that someone is sitting at the next window –in unison)
little tobin: oh thank goodness
daughter: it’s jill
little tobin: our friend.
daughter: remember us? we were here a few months ago
little tobin: well i’ve been here since then too, but without you
daughter: oh ok, but well a few months ago my mom retired
little tobin: yup in may and haven’t worked since, yipppeee!
daughter: nope she sure hasn’t. We came here back in may and met with you.
little tobin: and you were just so nice to us, well you and that
handsome man who sits up front most of the time. where’s he?
daughter: yeah he’s unexpectedly helpful, is he not here anymore?
little tobin: he’s usually the guy we have to go through to get to you.
daughter: but I guess now we can just talk directly to you first, yes?
jill: (very perplexed, a little fearful, and somewhat laughing)
oh yes, I remember you two.
(jill is still our friend and believe me has not seen the last of us)

little tobin: are you going to drive your new car carefully?
daughter: what? are you kidding me? this is not the first car i have owned, you know?
little tobin: yeah i get it but you haven’t owned a car for 8 years, it’s not like riding a bicycle.
daughter: yeah it is like riding a bicycle, you don’t forget and i’m not careless!
little tobin: i don’t know how to ride a bike well.
daughter: oh my god, that is not the point!
daughter: upstairs – minding my own business
little tobin: downstairs – a slight scream
ahhhhhhh he’s assing me, he’s assing me, he’s ASSING ME!!!
daughter: oh my god, how much do I NOT want to go downstairs and see what is going on
mom! what the heck are you yelling about??
