There was gonna be a band. And I was gonna play music.

(Alex has been working all morning on building “Elly’s school”, and preparing for its Grand Opening, when he realizes, with great disappointment, that Mommy and Claire have left to pick up the mail from the neighbor’s house.)
Alex: There was gonna be a band. And I was gonna play music. And you know what else there was gonna be?
Daddy: What?
Alex: I was gonna sing a song about my trucks.


(The kids wipe their hands and faces after snack.)
Alex (displaying his clean hands): Look, Mommy. All clean.
Mommy: Good job, buddy!
(Claire runs over.)
Claire (displaying her clean hands): Look Mommy, all clean.
Mommy: Good job, Claire!
Alex: We're good cleaners, Claire.


Mommy: Claire, did you like the Tyler Place?
Claire: No. I didn’t like the Tyler Place.
Mommy: Did you like the little house?
Claire: Yeah.
Mommy (to Daddy): She thinks they’re two different things.
Daddy: I know.
Mommy: Did you like eating breakfast and lunch at the restaurant?
Claire: Yeah.
Mommy: Did you like riding the bike?
Claire: Yeah.
Mommy: Did you like the airplane?
Claire: Yeah?

Mommy: Did you like being at the pool with Mommy and Daddy?
Claire: Yeah.
Mommy: Did you like the fishing trip with Daddy?
Claire: Yeah.


Alex: Daddy, one day can we camp, can you put that on my bucket list?
