Conversations with Michael

Mom: If I see you stand on that pool table one more time, I'm going to have to paddle your bottom...

Michael (very matter-of-fact): Then I wish you couldn't see me.

Michael: Can we go to the park today?

Mom: Maybe.

Michael (very seriously, not trying to be funny): Which "maybe" is it this time? The "no" maybe or the "yes" maybe?
