Mom: Your dad and I are going out to see a movie tonight. Calvin: Can I come too? Mom: No. You're staying home. Calvin: What, I got the plague?! Why can't I come?

If Calvin were watching Inspector Gadget, I could picture Calvin’s Dad giving advice to the titular character:
“Gadget, I know your car broke down, but why are you walking through the desert? Why not just say, ‘Go-go-Gadget copter’? Then, after you’ve reached an appropriate altitude, say, ‘Go-go-Gadget binoculars’. You’d be able to see where you need to go, and get there faster”.
Or, when he’s deployed his Gadgetbrella to break his fall:
