If Only It Were That Easy

Al: Mom, could you do a web search for me?
Me: Sure, what are you looking for?
Al: I wanna do a contest. Could you type in "contest" in the google box? I wanna win a prize.
Me: You should be more specific, there are tons and tons and tons of prize sites on the web. Tell me what kind of contest you want.
Al: Ok. Ummm... type in "kids can win". No, type in "win big bag of money". Yeah, I want to win a big bag of money. Type that in the google box.

Voice of Reason: Stop it! Stop it! You boys are fighting over an imaginary nose!
Al: But he ate it! He ate it! Tell him to give me my nose back!
