The Bad News or the Good News

An exchange between Michael and Kevin tonight while they shared a manly episode of the classic Xmen:

Kevin: "So Michael, how was dibbles today?" (dibbles is a reading center in his kindergarten class and typically a source of much dinner table storytelling)

Michael: "Do you want the bad news or the good news?"

Kevin: "The bad news."

Michael: "I probably failed everything."

Kevin: "And the good news?"

Michael: "Ummmm . . . I exploded," with a knowing smirk.
