Tom: “A kid was racist to me at school.
Dad: “Racist? Really?
Tom: “Yeah, he said "Hey, woman" to me.”
Dad: “Tom, that's not racist.”

You can't fight racism, unless you know what it is.
We're listening to an old Jackson 5 song.
Dad: “Tom, do you know who sings this song?”
Tom: “No, who is it?”
Dad: “Michael Jackson.”
Eva: “Was Michael Jackson a girl when he was a kid?”
Tom: "Eva! That's racist!”
Proceed five more minutes of explaining what racism is (and isn't) and how puberty deepens voices. I dared not explain that Michael Jackson went from black to white.

The People's Court
Tom is watching what I think is a lot of Judge Judy on television.
Dad: “Why do you watch Judge Judy so much?”
Tom: “Because I like it.”
Dad: “Do you even know what Judge Judy is about?"
Tom: “Yes I do. The person who is lying has to pay money.”
He's not wrong.
