Before School

Me: Kids, you need to leave for school!

[Carlo comes downstairs. Anna doesn’t. I yell for Anna multiple times. She finally hears me and comes downstairs.]

Carlo: Anna is such a noob.

Me: She’s not a noob, you’re a noob.

Carlo: YOU’RE a noob.

Me: You’re the President of Noobistan.

Carlo: If you were in the Noob Olympics you’d win the Gold medal in Noobing.

Me: When are you going to Norway?

Carlo [thinks; comes up empty]: Why would I go to Norway?

Me: To accept the Nobel Prize for Noobery.

Anna: More like the NOOBel Prize.
