“Daddy!” Esteban exclaimed running up to Christian, looking very excited.
“What is it Este?” Christian asked with a smile, the young boy’s excitement rubbing off on him.
“What do you call a dentist who doesn't like tea?” The boy asked. The question seemed important, but Christian wasn’t sure how to answer it.
“I don’t know,” Christian answered honestly after a moment of thought.
“A denis !” Esteban replied with a grin before running off, leaving a slightly confused Christian in his wake.

“Papá!” Esteban said, walking into Maurizio’s office.
“Hi Este,” Maurizio smiled, looking up from his piles of paperwork.
“Why didn't the dentist ask his secretary out?” Esteban asked. It was a very odd question.
“Because Christian asked me out instead? But on the other hand Adrian did that...” Maurizio answered honestly, not sure why his youngest son was asking that. Would he rather have Maurizio dating someone else? Maurizio was under the impression that Esteban really liked Christian.
“Nooo, because he was already taking out a tooth!” the young boy answered with a giggle, not realizing he had put his father through an existential crisis.

“Uncle Adrian!” Esteban exclaimed the moment Adrian walked into the livingroom.

Deciding to just answer the boy’s question and not worry too much about it on the off chance that it wasn’t a hoax to make Adrian show a weakness. How his prefered petrol station would work into a prank was anyone’s guess.
“I’d go to Total ?” Adrian replied, trying to hide his confusion.
“Noooo!” Esteban answered, starting to giggle. “At the filling station!”
