The usual type of stuff

“How was school today?”
“Good. We had gym today.”
“Must have been fun! What did you do there?”
“Things."
“What things?”
“The usual type.”
“The usual type! What type is that?
“Routine stuff, you know.”
“What kind of stuff and what type of routine?”
“The regular kind.”
“Could you be more specific and describe for me the usual type of things or the routine, regular stuff that you did today at school during your gym class?”
“Ahh! Why communicating with parents is that difficult? If that’s what you want then why didn’t you say so in the first place?”
“I was trying.”
“Anyway! You basically do simple stuff.”
“Simple stuff! Here we go again. Could you please just respond to the earlier question?”
“Okay, okay. Patience. It’s like; you do sit-ups, chin-ups and push-ups. You also jump up and down and run around. I actually ran a mile today. What do you think Dad? Am I physically fit?”
“You are physically fit but mentally challenged.”
“HEY!”
