-Well. Each of them is something different. Like here's my e-mail.
-So you can just e-mail anybody from right here?

-Uh, yeah I guess so. And see I can check the scores. It's real time and everything.
-Hmm.

I mean we were lucky, my parents being a little bit better off than most folks. They only had two kids, see? So we had a bit of money. Most other families used all they had to feed the kids, eh? Eight or ten or fourteen kids sometimes.
-That's crazy.
-Yeah. Yes it is crazy. And now all you kids run around e-mailing your friends while your driving your cars and sending pictures to China or wherever else. Does that got a camera?
-Yup. See?
-These things just blow my mind.
-Yeah they're pretty crazy when you think about it.
-I actually feel like I'm in a different world most days. People don't believe in magic, eh? Well I see it right there. Right there in your pocket...

At the Foodcourt: Cornwall Center

-Ya know what my buddy said to me? He was like, Isn't it weird how First Nations, or wait, Aboriginals. What are you supposed to call them now?
-I think they're actually interchangeable. You just have to say, peoples, at the end.
-Really? Why?
-I don't know. It's politically correct cause if you just say, Aboriginals, you're like objectifying the group as a thing rather than people. Or something.
-Well, anyway. He was like, isn't it weird how if they lived in San Diego, people would probably just think they're Mexicans.
-Oh my gosh, what an idiot.
-I know. He just said it out of the blue.
-What'd you say?
-I don't know... But I guess if you think about it, if a Mexican lived here, I'd probably think he was an Aboriginal. Aboriginal Person, sorry. Am I supposed to say Mexican Person, then?
-I don't know, haha.
-Mexicanos?
-I don't think it's the same.
-Tacos?
-Oh my god.
-That was bad, sorry.
-You're such an idiot.
