Anything that happened before Gavin was born in 2003 is all sort of mixed up in his head. I put on Knight Rider and he watched a minute or so of The Hoff beating up bad guys, and said, “I don’t like this, it’s too 40s.”

Naomi: “Hey Gavin, do you want a Jack-in-the-Box for Christmas?”
Gavin: “Aw man, I hate Jacks-in-the-Box!”
Way to go with the proper pluralization!
(Large group of black people walks into Cici’s Pizza)
Gavin: “Oh my gosh! Packers!!”
Naomi and I: “(Nervous laugh) Uhh, what?”
Gavin: “Packers! You know, a big group of people that packs into a restaurant!”
(Watching Jeremy Clarkson drifting an Alfa Romeo around a track)
Gavin: “Oh my gosh, they have the most dangerous job ever! And he’s not even wearing any safety gear! Why do they call it Top Gear?!”
Biznass
(Gavin gets a splinter)
Gavin: “Help! I need medical business!”
Gavin knows parables
Gavin: “Check it out, I found this empty orange juice bottle on the bus!”
Naomi: “Gavin, why are you picking up trash?”
Gavin: “It could be a man’s treasure!”
My mad scientist son
Dan: “Gavin, here’s a picture of your new babysitter.”
Naomi: “Ooh, I saw your eyebrows raise. You like her?”
Gavin: “I’m just thinking how I’m going to mutate her.”
Naomi: “I think you mean ‘manipulate.’”
Opinionated
Gavin has very strong opinions about Home Depot vs Lowe’s, and they’re based mostly on the quality and comfort of the shopping carts he sits in when we go there.
An overly technical answer
Naomi, reading from a trivia card: “According to legend, what’s at the end of a rainbow?”
Gavin: “Indigo!”
