Austin
came in with his new copy of Fallout Four. So I go to his room with
him and watch him going over the liner notes.
Me: Is that the main character of the game (pointing to this Monopoly looking guy)?
Austin: It's the icon.
Me: It looks like the Monopoly guy.
Austin: Maybe it is.
Me: It doesn't look like the art of the games you normally play. (Pointing to some pictures on the box), Those look more like the games you normally play.
Austin: I just got the game. I don't know.
Me: You got a game you know nothing about?
Austin: It's Fallout Four. There's been Fallout Two, Three-Do you know how exasperating you are right now?
So I left. A few minutes later.
Austin: I need your help with my game.
Me: I highly doubt that.
Austin: There's a man and a woman character in this game and they eventually get married and have a baby. So it's even more important that they look like us so we can see what our kid will look like.
Incidentally, after an hour of fooling around with the avatars, we are shown a baby that looks nothing like us.

So,
our baby on Fallout Four is named Shaun. Austin & I did not name
our son. This was the name he came with.
Me: If we had a son, we could name him Shaun, in honor of (Austin's best friend) Shawn. But let's leave it Shaun, to *&%&# him off.
Austin: Man, that would do it. He hates that. He hates Sean even more. It's Seen.
Me: I don't want to name a kid Sean. But let's not make a mistake and have a baby in the first place.
Austin: Why not? We made the mistake and got married.

Later . . .
Austin: If we had a kid, he'd have to sleep in your room.
Me: No, he'd sleep in your room.
Austin: You have the bigger room.
Me: It's like you've never been in my room, at the piles and piles--
Austin: I hate to suggest it, but you'd have to clean it. Lord knows I don't want any more cleaning than necessary going on in our house.
Me: Then that settles it. No little Shauns running around our house.
Me: No, he'd sleep in your room.
Austin: You have the bigger room.

OK, so at
first, when Austin talks about Fallout4, it sounds like English,
shelters, resources, etc., but then it erodes into nonsense.
Austin:
Look, I built this shelter and I hung all these lights. And I linked
them all together, so now we can send resources from one settlement
to another. And I have all these crops to harvest.
Me: You know, this sounds like a glorified version of Farmville.
