Well, I could have gone with the whole "Pretty, Funny and Cool" spiel, but then Jacob would be all like "Stop copying me!" and I'd have to go "Stop copying me!" and he'd say "I mean it! Stop it!" and I'd go "I mean it! Stop it!" and next thing you know I'd be obligated to follow him around for all eternity parroting everything he says. My only out would be if he eventually tried to trick me with "I'm a stupid doody head", which I would not mimic and would instead say "I know you are" and I'd finally be free to walk away.

So you can see why I wasn't more effusive in my praise.
