Soundbites from the Weekend

Setting: Evening. Wayne is in our bathroom doing his nightly meticulous teeth cleaning. Zanna walks in and starts chatting with him despite his mouthful of toothpaste.
Zanna - "You're brushing your teeth again with a different toothbrush? That's nuts."
(no comment) she continues. 
Zanna - "So, why do you have two toothbrushes?"
(no comment) she continues.
Zanna - "So, you and Mommy can see each other naked because you're parents?"
Wayne silently but efficiently escorts her out of the bathroom, continuing his silence. 

Setting: Afternoon. I am putting together a Christmas list of Lands End items for Wayne and me as requested by my mother.
Me - "Can I measure your inseam?" 
Wayne - "Why the heck do you need my inseam?" 
Me - "So I can tell my mom what size of pants to order."
W - "Well I've never had pants that needed an inseam measurement and they fit just fine. Where are these pants from anyway?"
Me - "Lands End."
W - "Well you're not measuring my inseam. But I'll measure yours. That sounds like it could be fun."
