Me: You know what I love about George Washington Carver?
(pause for nonsense)
Me: No, really, you know what I love about George Washington Carver? That he was George Washington Carver! Like... the whole thing. He was born in the shadow of slavery, a poor and disadvantaged black man, and he decided to focus ALL HIS ENERGY on PEANUTS and their possibilities for curing the world's ills.
Lea: AND HE WAS RIGHT!
Me: I know! I know! Peanut butter!
Lea: And is there slavery anymore? NO.
