philip do you have the check?

conversation of my family after watching the evening news, with charles dixon.

dad: "they just said the news was done by charles dixon."
phil: "yeah? so?"
mom: "is he dead?"
phil: "no he's not dead. he just did the news."
dad: "well his name is charles nixon. maybe the same as the guy who wrote a christmas carol."
mom: "do you want this?"
[pushes plate of fish skins over to my dad]
dad: "no, all this is is fish skins."
mom: "oh."
phil: "no that's charles dickens."
dad: "that's what i said, charles dixon."
mom: "he said charles dickensin. there's a sin"
dad: "no there's a son."
mom: "dickensin, disckensin. ensin. not son."
dad: "no it's son."
phil: "first off dad, now you're saying son. you originally said dixon which has an on. not son. second you're wrong, they aren't the same person. they don't even have the same name. third mom, i never said dickensin. where did you get that from?"
