Niallism: Teleporters
Niall, my mom (his “Nonna”), and I were driving today and stuck in traffic. Niall was frustrated:
Niall: This is why humans should have teleporters!
Nonna: {to give him something fun to talk about:} Oh, good idea! Why don’t you grow up and build them?
Niall: No.
Nonna: Why not?
Niall: {helpfully:} Because it’s impossible. You can’t make teleporters any more than you can make light sabers.
What makes these moments so charming is that his comments are completely innocent. There’s no sarcasm, no ridicule; it’s just, “I have some information that you apparently don’t, so I’ll share it.”
