Me: “Hey, Troy, that car has a UFO sticker on the gas tank door. Oh and look, there’s a cow flying it. So, he got sucked up into the UFO by the aliens, and then he took over the ship!”
Troy: “Or maybe he’s going to suck the aliens up.”
Me: “Oh, like a revenge thing for sucking up him and his kind?!”
Troy: “Yeah.”
Me: “I like it! Like there’s this intergalactic showdown between the aliens and cows!”
Troy: “Maybe we could write a story about cows versus aliens.”
Me: “Funny enough, there’s a movie called Cowboys Versus Aliens.”
Troy: “And the cowboys win in the end?”
Me: “Why would you assume that?”
Troy: “Because the good guys always win in the end.”
Me: “Why do you assume the cowboys were the good guys?”
Troy: “Of course they were, so they had to win! The cowboys always win!”
Me: “We live in Dallas. I think we know that the Cowboys don’t always win. But in this case, yes, the cowboys won. But why do you think the aliens are always the bad guys?”
Troy: “Because I’ve never met any good aliens!”
Me: “Have you met some bad aliens?”
Troy: “Well, no.”
Me: “I’ve never met any good aliens. But that’s to say that I haven’t met any aliens at all, not that all of the aliens that I’ve met have been bad.”
