Chloe: You must have heard of the Theory of Relativity.

Simon Snell: E equals M C squared.

Chloe: The First Theory of Relativity states that time moves more slowly when you spend it with your relatives.

Jane Arden: No arguing with that.

Chloe: And the Second Theory of Relativity is that time spent with your family and time spent in the real world move at different speeds. So you could leave your family for decades and when you finally come home again, only a few seconds have elapsed and nothing's changed at all. So the youngest is still treated like the baby, even when they're forty.

Ian Snell: I'm thirty-nine.

Chloe: And the oldest is still expected to set a good example, so they get the hardest time for even the smallest misdemeanour.

Simon Snell: Well that makes some sense.

Jane Arden: And what about the middle child?

Chloe: The middle child could do the most amazing things, and nobody's ever going to notice cos the other two are just busy making so much noise.

Jane Arden: Forget Einstein - this woman is a genius.

Chloe: [to Jane] I'm a middle one too.
