[Opens the gift]
Lisa : . Thanks for not rushing me.
George : Yeah.
[It's Play-Doh]
George : This is only half the gift.
Lisa : Yeah?
George : It doesn't work without the story.
Lisa : [sarcastically] Ok?
George : [Explains the story of how Play-Doh was invented] This stuff was invented by this man in central Ohio as white goo. They used it to remove stuff off a wallpaper from old-fashioned heating. So this gas and electric heating came and there was no longer a need for the cleaning goo. So, the guy was going under with his sister in law who was a nursery school teacher...
Lisa : Is this a true story?
George : The man's name was Joe Mcvicker. His sister was Kay Zufall.
Lisa : Ok, I believe you.
George : So, Kay Zufall discovered that her little kids liked squeezing the goo a lot more than hard-modeling clay. So she suggested to her brother in law Joe, the color of the stuff, and call it Play-Doh.
Lisa : [impressed] Hey. Nice.
George : I have kept this for a long time as proof that we're all just one small adjustment the way from making our lives work.
