It's hard to tell if Oddball is only twelve and still afraid of monsters under his bed or in the closet, or if his life experience is so limited that he thinks you can negotiate on equal terms. That has to be one of his 'all time naive lines' as all his comebacks are about the big bad wolf and / or dependency. Hope his mom gets him a dictionary or thesaurus for his thirteenth birthday and he learns life isn't his simpleminded non answers.
