Well, Gov, Christmas is right around the corner. We should start thinking about what we're going to get everyone.
Like presents?
Yep. What presents are we going to get for other people?
Well I would like a samurai sword and a gun that shoots toilet plungers and a whistle...
No. No. Perhaps you didn't hear me. What are we going to get OTHER people. Like Grandma. What should we get Grandma for Christmas?
I don't know.
Well, what does Grandma like to do?
Knitting!
Yes, she does like knitting. But I'm not buying Grandma yarn for Christmas. What else do Grandma like to do?
Sit in chairs.
(speechless)
Mom! We could get her a new chair!

So Mom...you're getting a new chair for Christmas. And Dad - since you apparently like to breathe air, you're getting an oxygen tank.
At this rate, I'll be done shopping by October 15th. Should have consulted the boy last year.
