(while discussing RJ’s girlfriend problems over breakfast)

Dad: So maybe you just need a hockey mask? It’s a mask that you can see through with metal bars. It will block anything big from getting through and hitting your face.

RJ: Yeah! I need one that uses laser beams and blasts things that try to go through.

LR: They aren’t real, RJ. You just have to get one with bars.

RJ: They ARE real. They’re made by mad scientists and they are VERY useful.

(while packing school lunches in the kitchen)

RJ: (blocking doorway with his arms) Watch out! Laser beams here! You can’t get through!

Dad: Hey RJ, where do you get all your laser beams from?

RJ: Not me! I didn’t put them there. The bad guys did.

Dad: Riiiight. So where do they get their laser beams from?

RJ: The Bad Guy Shop. We can’t go there.

Dad: Why not?

RJ: You need a disguise. Then you sneak in and then growl. Grrrrr.

Dad: Then they’ll let us buy stuff?

RJ: Yes. Then we can get our own laser beams… and a cannon. If we put it out in our big tree, it can shoot the bad guys and stop them from putting in more laser beams.

Bad guys not welcome here
