(playing trains)

Alex: Grommie’s licking the track.
Daddy: What's Grommie doing?
Alex: He's licking the track.
Daddy: Oh, what should Daddy do?
Alex: You have to tell him. Not licking the track.

Alex: ‘Scuse me, Grommie. Claire, ‘scuse me Claire.

Alex: The trains have to go over the bridge and 'cross the mountain.

Alex: Oh no! They went faster and faster and the train flew off the track.
