Sophia: Daddy, is it possible for you to live without TV?
Me: No.
Sophia: Daddy! Then how come Mary, Carrie, Laura, Grace, and Ma and Pa could live without TV?
Me: They died without TV.
Sophia: Daddy!
Me: They're all dead. Life was very hard without TV.
Sophie: Daddy! Well, you can live without the TV!
Me: OK. I guess I could just unplug the TV and take it out of the house and give it to the poor. What do you think about that?
Sophia: OK.
Thalia: NO! DON'T UNPLUG THE TV!
Me: Amen, sister. (sip, sip)
