Aw Elmo on 'puter.

(Alex is reading books with Claire.)
Alex: I’m the teacher! I’m the teacher reading stories to my sister.
Daddy: Yeah?
Alex: I’m the teacher.
Daddy: That’s cute.

Alex: There’s a lot of new stories, because I’m the teacher and you’re at school. I’m the teacher.

Alex: Now I’m not a girl anymore, I’m a man, so… now I’m a girl again.

Alex: May you, may you – may you just be nice, Claire?

Alex: I want Claire to not do anything, because I’m the teacher trying to tell Daddy. What things are!

(Claire points to Daddy’s laptop.)
Claire: Aw Elmo on ‘puter.

(Grommie is looking out the window, whimpering because Oakley is playing with a friend.)
Claire: Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. Home.
Daddy: Mommy?
Claire: Oh Ay-yah! Home!
Daddy: No Mommy’s not home yet.


(Claire falls down, and Mommy is comforting her.)
Mommy: Where does it hurt?
Claire: Toe.
Mommy: Aw, did you hurt your toe?
(Mommy kisses Claire’s toe.)
Claire: Thumb.
Mommy: You hurt your thumb too? Which thumb?
Claire (holding out her right thumb): Right.

Daddy (to Mommy): Did she say “right”?
Mommy: It sounded like it.
Daddy (to Claire): Claire, can you show me your left thumb?
(Claire sticks out her tongue.)
Mommy (to Daddy): Oh, thank goodness, she’s not crazy smart.

Alex: Mommy, may we go to Sam’s Cloud?
Mommy: Yeah.
Alex (to Daddy): Mommy said yes.
