A recent conversation with Henry:
Henry: Hey Dad. Let's play Nemo.
Dad: Ok. Who am I?
H: Nemo's dad.
D: Who are you?
H: Nemo.
D: Hi, Nemoo. How are you?
H: Not Ne-MOO, Ne-MO.
D: Ok. Got it. Hi, Memo.
H: NEMO.
D: Nimoy? Like Leonard Nimoy?
H: Dad! Not Nimoy. NEE-MO.
D: (squints, looks at Henry's mouth) I'm sorry... what are you saying?
H: Nemo.
D: (cocks head to one side) One more time.
H: Nemo!
D: Nee --
H: Yes...
D: --moot.
H: NO! NEMO!
D: Nonemo.
H: Dad!
D: What?
H: (breathing heavy, trying to calm himself) Ok. Dad. Nemo is my name.
D: Nemois. Ok. Hi, Nemois.
H: No, Dad! Stop it!
D: Stop what?
Erin: (interjects) You are such an ass.
D: I thought I was Nemo's dad.
H: You said 'Nemo'!
D: Shoot. Ok. Hi, Nemo.
H: Hi. Let's swim!
D: Sure. What's Nemo's dad's name again?
H: Marlin.
D: Hi, Nemo. I'm Marvin.
H: DAD!

Annoying!!!
Brilliant and annoying! Love this one. You set a fine example for prospective fathers like myself who look forward to tormenting our wives/partners and children in a similar fashion. Keep up the good work!
