We just had a conversation that went something like this:

Me: “It’s time for you to start researching the things you’re going to research.” [This would be car-seats and a few other items.]

Stevel: “Yeah, I know. Not today, but yeah.”

Me: “It’s time. We’re in the final countdown … The Final Countdown … That’s a good song, I’m buyin’ that.” [Opening iTunes]

Stevel: “Don’t do it!”

Me: “Why not?”

Stevel: “It’s Europe.”

Me: “Yeah. Check it out: the ‘Popularity’ rating of this song is so high it’s off the iTunes table.” [Purchase complete]

Europe: [Half-hour keyboard intro] “Dn dn dn dn, dn dn dn-dn-dn …”

Stevel: “We could have spent that 99 cents on our baby.”

Me: “I’m not the one who bought ‘The Rainbow Connection.’”

Stevel: “[Incredibly, defending that purchase---blah blah blah]”

Europe: “We’re leaving together, but still it’s farewell …”

Stevel: “Open that album artwork in a bigger window so we can see it.”

Me: “Wow.”

Stevel: “Oh man, I bet they got so much game.”
