parentheticals

I read aloud some of Andrew & Chris Cuomo's most recent conversation (about New York's response to the pandemic) to Leonard, and I got to the bit about them (I think) quoting a poem their dad (Mario Cuomo) wrote and turning it into a joke, and Leonard said, "I feel like I'm listening to you and Nandini" (my sister). The inside jokes, the asides, the laughter.
