anthony's go-to insult when he's mad is to, before turning and stomping away, yelling:
you're a stupid penis.
or the more granularly/glandularly specific
you're a stupid penis-head.
pretty sure he picked that up from the older siblings. i'm also pretty sure he's dropped the penis-bomb at school. such realizations make one worry for their child and how much you're reaching them or how they compare to other kids their age. and just when you might start losing hope in your progress, he'll turn around and with a cocked eyebrow ask:
dad, where is the future at?
or the nice twisty one anthony asked marty while her mother was visiting the house:
wait, since both of you are adults, how could grandma be your mom?
what makes that one surprisingly hard to explain is that anthony thinks there are four kinds of people in the world: beebies, little boys, kids, and old people. when you lump everyone fifteen and older into one category, such distinctions get quite blurry.
