Elmo's world 

dad: son, stop living in Elmo's world.

son : you mean, you want me to stop living underwater

dad: no, I said stop living in a your own disconnected from reality world. people living underwater excuse me, at least have intelligent ideas partially connected to reality, but ideas that are considered beyond eccentric in their socio-cultural and historical zeitgeists. you are, however, even beyond living underwater

penmanship 

the physical art (regardless of whether or not the piece of writing is actually correct in terms in of spelling, grammar, morphology, syntax etc..) of legible human handwriting.
father (after reading a student-to-parent from his daughter's school: really? is this f-sag or what? They want you to hand in all your written homework as computer documents? what these tulips are trying to accomplish by abolishing penmanship is beyond me. How do they expect to you, to, for example, sign a banking cheque?

the moral of the fable 

what one is supposed to learn, as in a fable, from a given incident or experience.
son: dad why was i taken to police station for public drunkenness, even if I didn't a bottle of alcohol on me?

father, lol, the moral of the fable is, that, when you drink, and then walk around in public, even if you don't actually have the bottle on you, you still have the smell of the firewater on your breath, especially if it's something hard, like whiskey. an experienced police officer, when they come close enough to talk to you, can actually smell the stuff on your breath.
