Me: Here is a bottle filled with your breakfast.
Mort: Awesome! I can rattle it around and get all the food out!
Me: Yeah, that's the idea! And then you eat the food!
Mort: Nope, I'll just leave it on the floor. But this is fun!

Me: I know, I'll just get your stuff.
Mort: HURRY THE HECK UP
Dog walker: Hello Vikki! How are-

Dog walker: Oh! Hello Mort.
Mort: NOT INTERESTED LET'S GO
