VOICE: All right, little boy, which of those people was telling the truth?
BOY (JH): Well, they all were.
VOICE: But they all said you were something different.
BOY: Well, yeah. [walks by and introduces each AM that walked by before] You see, this is my mother. So to her, I'm a son.
MOTHER: Sonny boy.

GRANDMA: Heh heh heh! You're a good little boy!
BOY: And so, uh, that, that's the way it is.
VOICE: I didn't know a person could be so many different things at once.
BOY: Yeah, well, there's only one of me, but I'm a son, and a brother, and a paper boy, and a friend, and a grandson. And on weekends ...

I especially liked how Grandma was holding the football. I always shouted, "THROW IT GRANDMA!" whenever I saw that scene.

You know... That concept got repeated in a funny way for a Grover the Waiter sketch. See, Charlie's was holding a birthday party for a kindly old lady, and Grover was waiting for the old lady and her family to come by. When each member got there, they described her by a different relation, so Grover thought they were talking about different people. In the end, Grover brings out six birthday cakes and sees that they're all therre for the little old lady's B-Day party. The family then explains the relations to him and he understands, but there's the problem of too many cakes now. So the family just asks him to put the cakes on the table and join them in the party.
