The Storyteller & the Comedian

Daniel likes to recount past events over and over (sometimes ad nauseum,) replaying who did what, who said what and how everyone felt. It's freaky that he brings up events that happened more than a year ago we never assumed he'd remember. Talking about the past or about movies and tv shows he's seen is his favorite pastime in the car. It's rare to have more than 2 minutes of consecutive silence when Daniel is traveling with us. Addie tries to get a word in, but is quickly scolded by Daniel for interrupting. Today on our way home from the park she found an opening, and started in with her version of the story...

Daniel: Mom, remember on Transformers when the Decepticons crashed into the building? They smashed into the window, and crashed the walls.......(I admit I stopped paying attention here.)
Daniel stops to take a bite of granola bar.

Addie: Mom! Mom! Decepticons crash the building 'cuz.............they toot.
I laughed. I didn't mean to.

Daniel quickly started in with a new story. Which Addie interrupted with, "They toot! They toot! Hehehehehehe!" Daniel scolded her for interrupting to which she replied, "Toooooooooooooooots!!!!" at the top of her lungs. I had to turn on the radio so they wouldn't hear me laughing.
