    3. ME: I already gave you all my quarters too. Calm down.
    4. SCOUT: Why don't you have an emergency dollar taped to your chest?
    5. ME: Umm because that's not normal. Do YOU have an emergency dollar taped to YOUR chest?

    1. ME: (looking at the yearbook) Which one of these girls is the one that annoys you?
    2. BECKETT: OK, let me show you. There's more than one. This one . . . her . . . those two . . . that one . . . her, her . . . and . . . her.
    3. ME: Beckett, you just pointed out every single white girl in your class.
    4. BECKETT: (honestly unaware of the pattern) I did? (Looking again). Huh. Well . . . that's awkward.
