“I’m worried about our son. He’s a bit of a loner.”

“If it makes you feel better, I could see if the family next door is interested in setting up a play date. The noirs have two daughters that seem like good kids.”

“I dunno…the mother is awfully weird. She doesn’t even try to disguise herself from the humans.”

“I think it’s admirable. She doesn’t try to hide who she is and I think that she could teach us more about living our lives without having to hide.”

“Do I really need to learn all this stuff? I doubt I’ll need to know the difference between an adjective and an adverb when I’m out in space.”

“Not only is it important to learn everything you can, but you need to go out and socialize with other kids. It’s how I met pretty ladies, like your mother.”

“Yep. One day you’ll be thankful that you got a good education and got out to meet new people. You’ll see.”

“Ugh. I doubt it.”
