When I was out front, I found the green thing, then I dropped it on the stairs, then I cried about it.

(Daddy comes home from work.)
Daddy: Hi family!
Alex: We’re not having a family, Daddy.
Daddy: We’re not? Why not?
Alex: We’re having a family later.


Alex: And she bought another trash can, I'm gonna show you. She bought this trash can. On the counter.


Alex: And Mommy bought this trash can for me to open it, and I open it, and then I close it, ‘cause Mommy told me not to play with it.


Alex: Grandma bought us those.
Daddy: Yeah, she did.
Alex: But Thomas, those don't like puffins.


Alex: I can't see Abby singing.


(Alex is tapping his hands on the new trash can's motion sensor.)
Alex: I'm working on my computer.


Alex: I want my hair back.

(Alex looks out his window.)
Alex: I don't see any cars driving around, and I don't see any birds, or people.

Alex: When I was out front, I found the green thing, then I dropped it on the stairs, then I cried about it.
