[Family dinner time. Charles leads everyone (except Mom and Corwin) in a vigorous hand waving exercise. Dad is so moved he starts singing]
Mom: [jumping in the moment Dad is not vocalizing] There is lettuce and hamburger [points at bowls]. Start eating.
Dad: Yes, start eating or Dad will sing again.
Alice: Yes! I love it when you sing.
Charles: Sing! Sing!
Mom: You’ll end up with a very grumpy Mom.
Charles: So?
Mom: [glares]
Charles: I already had cello practice!
