Why I love Mike...

I just told him to stop talking to me until I finish my homework.

Was he annoyed? No.
Did he object? No.
Did he silently motion that he locked his lips up and swallowed the key? Yes.

To that I responded: "You can't swallow the key if you already locked your mouth."

He "responded" to that by re-acting out the locking motion, and then snorting the key up his nose.

Wow I love that guy!
