A very private joke

"We carry within us the seeds of our own redemption. Remember that."
"Aphorims. You carry within your mouth the seeds for more aphorisms. I have learnt from observing you that those things breed. "
"What things?"
"Those cutesy little maxim-lets you delight in so much. The regurgitation of one inspires the regurgitation of others. I am sure this talk of seeds is not over."
"I am trying to give you advice, Junior."
"And you expect me to accept it graciously? Dad, have you learnt nothing in all these years?"
"You’re right. What was I thinking?"
"Hah hah! You let your enthusiasm override your principles! Hah hah!"
"Hah hah hah!"
