тАЬDeath before dishonor!тАЭ shouted the DVD player.

Kit covered his eyes and let out a long, frustrated breath.

 Duane, Diane - Young Wizards 06 - A Wizard Alone

From the kitchen came a sudden silence, something that was as arresting to Kit as a sudden noise, and
that made him look up in alarm. His mother had been cooking. Indeed, she was making her arroz con
polio, a dinner that visiting heads of state would consider themselves lucky to eat. When without
warning it got quiet in the kitchen in the middle of that process, Kit reacted as he would have if heтАЩd
heard someone say, тАЬOops!тАЭ during the countdown toward a space shuttle launch: with held breath and
intense attention.

тАЬHoney?тАЭ KitтАЩs mom said.

тАЬWhat, Mama?тАЭ

тАЬThe dog says he wants to know whatтАЩs the meaning of life.тАЭ

Kit rubbed his forehead, finding himself tempted to hide his eyes. тАЬGive him a dog biscuit and tell him
itтАЩs an allegory,тАЭ Kit said.

тАЬWhat, life?тАЭ

тАЬNo, the biscuit!тАЭ

тАЬOh, good. You had me worried there for a moment.тАЭ

KitтАЩs motherтАЩs sense of humor tended toward the dry, and the dryness sounded like it was set at about
medium at the moment, which was just as well. His mother was still in the process of getting used to his
wizardry. Kit went back to trying to talk sense into the remote and the DVD player. The DVD player
blued the TVтАЩs screen out again, pointedly turning its attention elsewhere.

тАЬCome on, just give each other a chance.тАЭ

тАЬTalk to that thing? You must have a chip loose.тАЭ

тАЬLike I would listen!тАЭ

тАЬHah! YouтАЩre a tool, nothing but a tool! I entertain!тАЭ

тАЬOh yeah? LetтАЩs see how well you entertain when I turn you off like a light!тАЭ

Kit rolled his eyes. тАЬListen to me, you two! You canтАЩt get hung up on the active-role-passive-role thing.
TheyтАЩre both just fine, and thereтАЩs more to lifeтАФтАЭ

тАЬLike what?!тАЭ
