Gizmo: "I'm swimming for the first time!"
Me: "Glad you're having fun, buddy."
Gizmo: "Do we live here now?"
Me: "Let's just enjoy the kelp forest for now."

Gizmo: "You've been out of breath a lot today."
Me: "Listen, trying to keep up with fit lesbians while carrying you hasn't been easy."
Gizmo: "Strangers were excited to meet me today, just like in Bryce Canyon."
Me: "Yeah, buddy. You are adorable."
Gizmo: "Or they think you are weird."
Me: "..."

Gizmo: "Are we taking another break because you got lost, went up the wrong trail, and randomly climbed a large hill?"
Me: "We don't have to talk about it."
Gizmo: "So you want to talk about the car getting stuck in sand."
Me: "It was only 5 minutes."
Gizmo: "It was nearly the end."
Me: 😑

Gizmo: "Snow again?"
Me: "It's a forest on top of a mountain, buddy. "
Gizmo: "It's an outrage."
Me: "A beautiful outrage."
Guzmo: "Fine, it is pretty."

Gizmo: "Why is the salt part called Badwater?"
Me: "Because of the salt?"
Gizmo: "You could look it up."
Me: "Maybe later, let's just enjoy these blue skies."
Gizmo: "And the no water."
Me: "and the no water..."

Gizmo: "Maybe the real beauty was the friends we made along the way."
Me: "You mean the random --"
Gizmo: "I mean the Snowman."
Me: "Oh, so now snow isn't water?"
Gizmo: 🙃
Me: 😒

Gizmo: "Star gazing dome?"
Me: "You said pretty and no water or snow."
Gizmo: "This is great."
Me: "We're just getting started buddy."

Me: "Snow covered mountains, and a frozen lake?"
Gizmo: "Snow is water."
Me: "Is it though?"
Gizmo: "..."
Me: "You should have been more specific in what you wanted to see."

Me: "Lodge on a frozen river with fire pit?"
Gizmo: "River..."
Me: "Frozen."
Gizmo: "..."

Me: "What are you doing?"
Gizmo: "Getting my ride fixed up!"

Me: Sleepover with friends?
Gizmo: Hell ya, boys night!

Gizmo: "Can you take me to see something beautiful?"
Me: "Okay, buddy. Let me see what I can do."
