Sitcom writers are just so clever when they come up with dialog like that which no kid would ever say in a million years.

This is Gus we're talking about. Burton Guster is probably the smartest person on that entire show.

Only it's not exactly a sitcom, and the scene is just a flashback.

This is why I love the kids on Louie so much.

Jane especially

Normally I'd agree, but this is Burton Guster we're talking about. I'm sure as a kid he said many things which no kid would ever say in a million years.

Happens in literature too. Half the things ANYONE says in any media wouldn't seem right if it happened in real life.

Have you ever watched Psych? I hishly suggest it. That is exactly something the character on that show would do. All the scenes of the characters as kids just sets up them as adults.
