Driving in the car to pick up Brent from work.

Logan: Let's play the quiet game. 1-2-3, Go!.......Time out, I mean everyone is playing. Go!......

Avery: Mom! Logan's pointing at me!

Logan: That's how I win. Okay, go!....

Avery: Mom! Logan's saying I pinched him, but I didn't. It was Ellie.

Ellie: Nah-uh.

Avery: Yah-huh. You reached over me and you pinched him.

Ellie: (Guilty as charged)Okay. And go!....

Dad enters the car.

Logan: Time out. Hi, Dad! We're playing the quiet game.

Mom snorts.

Dad: Sounds like fun.

Logan: Okay, go!

Ellie: Dad,(something about school). Okay, go!....

No one ever wins this game.
