New Niall stories

1.

Niall and I are in the kitchen, and Niall asks “Do you smell gas?”

My heart skips a beat.  “No.  Do you?!”

“No,” he says.  “This sign [under the sink] says ‘What do do if you smell gas.’  If you smell gas, ask me and I’ll — well, you can read the words that are too hard for me, and I’ll read you the rest.”

2.

Joshua: When I was little, [my dad] told me that if I saved up for something expensive, I’d only have to save for half of it, and he’d pay the other half.  So I’m telling you the same thing.

Niall: What did you save up for?

Joshua: A telescope.

Niall: Do you still have it?

Joshua: No.

Niall: Why not?

Joshua: It broke.

Niall: When did it break?

Joshua: About ten years ago.

Niall: Are you sad?

Joshua: A little bit.

Niall: I’m going to save up and buy you another one.  But you might have to wait until I’m 7 or 8.  I only have twenty dollars right now.

    I initially read that as “if I saved up my experience”. I’ve been gaming for too long.
