Meta-Quote!
So, last night, I'm putting Mac to bed. "What story do you want to read first?"
Mac answers, inevitably, "Curious George Takes a Train!"
I sigh. "Really? You're sure?"
Mac looks at me, grins, and says "I shock! I shock!"
He'd been saying that for a few days, under various circumstances where a lack of surprise was the correct response, and I hadn't figured out what the heck he was talking about. But last night, I got it. He's quoting a classic movie. Well, quoting us quoting a classic movie.
How easy it it for other folks to decipher Mac-speak in this case?
