At the supermarket the other day, I overheard a conversation between a father and his little son. The boy sounded like he was whining about something.
"Are you being a bad boy?" the father asked.
"Um been hobby," it sounded like the boy said.
"Hm?" asked the father. The boy repeated himself, and the father asked for clarification. "You're being happy?"
"Ya. So hobby," whined the boy.
"That's good," said the father. "You be happy."
It was an odd exchange, I thought. It's an odd thing to say that you're being. I'd like to say that I'm being happy; instead, I just whine.

Happiness is relative I guess.
Laoch, ya. Probably anything could be called "being happy."
