perrin: tunas climb the windowshade. they use cookbooks to help them climb the windowshade!
me: you know what? tunas are really big.
jenny: they're huge.
me: they're like THIS big (holding out arms).
jenny: at LEAST.
me: so it might be hard for them to climb the windowshade... they might be too big and heavy.
perrin: MY tunas aren't that big.
jenny and me: OH.
perrin: my tunas are only THIS big! [holds finger and thumb in tiny diamond]
me: oh! well in that case they wouldn't be too big. in fact, in that case it might be hard to climb the windowshade because they couldn't jump from one slat to the other!
jenny: i might be more worried that they would expire before they could get there from lack of oxygen!
me: no, they can have a little water tank with a mask fitted over their nose and mouth.
jenny: oh, if you're going to go into THAT realm.
me: what, you mean the realm beyond the one of tiny miniature tunas who climb the windowshade with the aid of cookbooks?

it's only six hours' drive from here to
