James: I have never counted to 500. I always get distracted. So I just have to trust it's there. Like dinosaurs.
Me: James, dinosaurs are dead.
James: That's exactly why I have faith, because naysayers like you want me to believe this awesome giants just...died because of a cold.
Me: More like a deep freeze. You can't come back from that kind of trauma.
James: You know who else was frozen and came back to life? Jesus.
Me: So. Wrong.
James: I'm allowed to believe dinosaurs still exist. 'Cause...America.
Me: What about America?
James: This is America. You can believe and do ridiculous things and make millions from it, all the while calling yourself a scientist. That like that Tom Cruise guy.
Me: He's a scientologist.
James: So?
Me: There's a difference. One is a religion, the other is a guy who went to school for a long time.
James: You're saying the exact same thing.
Me: You know, you have a point. You go ahead and believe dinosaurs still exist, little buddy.
James: And that the number 500 is out there somewhere.
