Who's On First?

Ian and Sam have developed their own version of being Abbott and Costello.  I can't help but giggle as I hear the following one day while driving in the car.

Ian (all upset about not being able to do something or other; honestly, who can even keep track any more?!?!):  It's not fair!

Now, you have to understand that Ian is saying this with a big huff and a puff, getting out his frustration on whatever he is upset about.

Sam:  It's not fair to you, it's not fair to MEEEEEEEE!!!

If you could only hear Sam's comback reply with the most perfect inflection in her voice, that "dude, you've got to be kidding me about it not being fair to YOU.  Really, it's not fair ME.

Ian:  No, its not fair to ME!

Sam:  No, its not fair to ME either!!

Ian:  It's fair to YOU, it's not fair to ME!

Sam:  It's not fair to YOU, it's not fair to MEEEEE!!

This goes back and forth for a good 5 minutes.  Each time Sam says its not fair to her, Ian gets all the more frustrated and upset that he isn't being taken seriously.  It's pretty funny, especially given the fact that Sam has no clue at all what Ian is even talking about.

And before you know it, no one in the car has any idea what is not fair.
