"We don't have any good Dad slides over there, but we do have one right here."

Every night, dad lays prone, face down, at the bottom of the stair case and Nick proceeds to slide down dad's back. He gets a real kick out of the 'bump' at the end; perhaps due to an added sense of danger that the bump may erupt at any time. Dad is just a one-man carnival act. I truly cannot recall how this stanza in the nightly pageant began, but part of the ritual is that he repeats this quote before each plunge. [We don't know where "over there" is, but we are sure that there are no good dad slides anywhere but here.]
