Punch n' Juicy

Nephew:  Uncle Tommy, what is that?

Me:  That's a kind of bubble gum.

Nephew:  Can I have some?

Me:  I don't think it exists any more.

Nephew:  Why not?

Me:  Well, they stopped selling it?

Nephew:  How come?

Me:  I guess it wasn't very good.

Nephew:  Did you have any?

Me:  I don't think so.

Nephew:  Can we try some?

Me:  No.

Nephew:  Why not?

Me:  Because they don't make it anymore.

Nephew:  Why not?

Me:  I guess it didn't sell very well.

Nephew:  How much did it cost?

Me:  I don't know.

Nephew:  Didn't you have any money?

Me:  Not in 1983.

Nephew:  Did they make gum in 1983?

Me:  Of course they made gum in 1983.

Nephew:  Did you buy any?

Me:  Sometimes my Dad bought me some at the store.

Nephew:  Some of that gum?

Me:  No.  Other gum.

Nephew:  But not that gum?

Me:  No.  Other gum.

Nephew:  Was it better than that gum?

Me:  I don't know.  I never tried that gum.

Nephew:  Why not?

Me:  Don't remember knowing about that gum.

Nephew:  But didn't you have this comic when you were little?

Me:  Yes, but I don't remember the gum.

Nephew:  You don't remember gum?

Me: I remember gum, but I don't remember that gum.

Nephew:  Why not?

Me:  I just don't.

Nephew (after a long pause):  I think it looks good.  I want some.

Me: You can't have any.

Nephew:  Why not?

Me: Because they don't make it anymore.

Nephew:  Why not?

Me:  Can we read the comic story?

Nephew (rolls eyes, skeptically):  oooookay......
