Does not compute

The boys were arguing about whether or not Carter could be a giant in Archie’s game. Archie wanted Carter to be a little person. Carter wanted to be big. Wackiness ensued.

Carter’s been listening to Q vs. Spock lately, and amusing himself by imitating Spock quite well.

This morning, the boys were arguing about whether or not Carter could be a giant in Archie’s game. Archie wanted Carter to be a little person. Carter wanted to be big. Wackiness ensued.

Archie: Yes you WILL be small.

Carter: No I WONT

Archie: You will play with me and YOU WILL BE SMALL.

Carter: (suddenly devoid of emotion, and brimming with logic) That analysis is not complete.

Archie: YES IT IS

Carter: That analysis is not complete.

Archie: YES IT IS

Carter: That analysis is not complete.

Archie: That analysis IS complete, or I WILL PUNCH YOU.

I would have intervened, but I was in the kitchen, hitting my head on the wall. I’ve got McCoy going after Spock in my own livingroom.

Technically there’s nothing un-Vulcan about punching or threatening to punch so long as it’s the logical choice.
