[Corwin wipes his mouth on his shirt at dinner]
Dad: I’m going to get a wide pendant for Corwin to wear while he’s eating. It will have lots of little spikes on it. I figure after two or three months, it will encourage Corwin to use napkins.
Alice: Don’t do it, Daddy!
Dad: Why not?
Alice: He’ll die.
Dad: No he won’t.
Alice: Yes he will.
Dad: Hmmm. Well, what if you get all his stuff after he dies? Is it OK then?
Alice: Yes.
Charles: And I can get some of it too!
Alice: Yes!
Corwin: I have such nice siblings.
