"And this one, this is a picture of Grandpa throwing the TV off the balcony. Your dad and your aunt had been watching a marathon of Barney the Dinosaur episodes, and Grandpa finally just snapped."

"Grandpa, that doesn't look like a TV. It looks like a glass box."

"Well back then, Adam, TVs were not flat and wall-mounted like they are today. Old TVs used a CRT, which back then just stood for 'Cathode Ray Tube.' Grandpa was feeling a little vexed that day, and when the phone rang he ripped it off the wall and threw it off the balcony, too."

"So grandpa, back then TVs were not on the wall, but phones were? No way! My teacher says if you tell me misinformation, I can report you to the authorities at the indoctrination center."

"No need to tell zem/zir about this, okay Adam? Let's just keep this between us. You wouldn't want Grandpa to be hauled away, would you? Hey, what do you say? Ice cream for everybody!"
