Prospective Employee: "We had no toys. Grandpa sometimes brought us interesting-looking stones that he’d found by the creek, so we gave them names and invested them with complex personalities and back-stories.

I have my favorite stone in my pocket. He’s called Gufflin. Would you like to meet him?"
