To begin, you need a bit of background on my family: Dad's a lawyer, Mom's a medical researcher. And they're a bit careless with their references.
Anyway, I found a book called the Amazing Machine about the human body, and, being at the time in my machinery-fascination stage, started reading.
Then after dinnertime, I sat at the table and waited for several minutes. When Mom noticed me, she asked what I was waiting for.
To which I replied, "For someone to bring in this can of gas we're supposed to pass around after we eat."
