Jack: Mom, life is like fine cheese.
Mom: why is that?
Jack: Um (pause) because it's so good?
I later learned that there is a panel in the Garfield comic book that Jack loves that has part of this dialog. Garfield says "Life is like fine cheese because it gets more precious with age."
Jack loves Garfield. I think he really loves the facial expressions because he doesn't understand the humor. The above example is good reason why it is hard to explain.
