imagination

"Where are you from?" I ask Ali (knowing what he'll say.)
"I'm from outer space."
And then he proceeds to tell me what's out there. Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, and stars. Lots of stars.
My friend is looking at a picture of Ali and talking about his eyes. He's in ear shot, so I proclaim, "Ali has blue eyes."
He hears and turns around, lifting his arms and saying in an semi-exasperated voice, "I have GREEN eyes."
I love pushing his buttons.
