Daddy, tomorrow's Gramhog Day.

(Alex and Claire come home from school.)

Claire: Daddy, I stayed dry all day!

Alex: Daddy, tomorrow's Gramhog Day.
Daddy: Tomorrow's Grampas’ Day?
Alex: No, Gramhog Day.
Daddy: What happens on Groundhog Day?
Alex: We watch to see if -- if Gramhog, sees a shadow.
Daddy: Oh.
Alex: Like the real people. Like Daddy! Like Alex and Claire and Daddy! But not Mommy. How ‘bout Grommie? Grommie could be there with us?
Daddy: So, why do we want to see if the groundhog sees his shadow?
Alex: Because we want to.

Daddy: What does it mean if the groundhog sees his shadow?
Alex: Um, I don’t know.
Daddy: So where do we see it?
Alex: Um, on the news.

Daddy: Alex, did you get a job today?
Alex: Yeah, I picked Song Leader.
Daddy: Oh, Song Leader, good! What does Song Leader do?
Alex: Song Leader, um, before you sing the song, you say "uno, dos, tres". And then you sing.
Daddy: Oh!
Alex: So I picked that.



Alex (singing): You've got a friend in me
Alex (singing): You've got a friend in me
Alex (singing): Wherever you go, somebody loves you
Alex (singing): You've got a friend in me

Alex: Hey Claire, I'll be Sid, and you can be Sid's sister, okay?
Claire: Okay.
