Rufus has a way of badgering us about any given topic if we do not make the plans he wants in the time frame he demands. Tonight, he was trying to strong arm Bumpus into staying home, while Boudreaux and the girls went to a soccer game.
Rufus: "Mama, Daddy said he might stay home from the soccer game. If he stays home, can I stay with him?"
Bumpus, already a bit annoyed at the badgering that had herewith commenced: "I did not say that I might stay home! I said I would see, which is not the same thing as saying that I might. I was avoiding an answer to your question because I dId NoT WAnt TO deCIDE YET!"
[Editor's Note: that loverly capitalization pattern is intended to illustrate Bumpus's rising voice.]
Rufus: "Sound just like Yoda, you do."
