I'm a Cheerio!

Daddy: All right, let's change your diaper.
Alex: You can say “pull-up”. Pull-ups look like diapers, but they're not.


Claire: Turn. Turn, Alex, turn. Turn!
Daddy: Yeah, it's Alex's turn.


(Alex and Daddy are playing “Alex is a toy”, in which Daddy presses buttons on Alex to make him do and become various things.)

(Alex assumes an odd position.)
Alex: That was a window.

Alex: How 'bout a apple?
(Daddy presses a button, and Alex turns into an apple.)

Alex: Can you make me turn into water?
(Daddy presses a button, and Alex turns into water.)
Alex: Now can you drink outta me?

Alex: Press another button.

Mommy: Is Claire cute?
Claire: Yeah.

Alex: Can you press a different button?
Daddy: Okay, last one. What should this button do?
Alex: Uh, it should not work anymore, or I can turn into a T?
Daddy: Okay, let's turn into a T.
(Daddy presses the button. Alex assumes an odd shape and freezes.)

Alex: Can you make me do something else?
Daddy: How 'bout I make you…
Alex: … turn into Cheerios!
Daddy: Okay.
(Daddy presses the button. Alex assumes an odd shape and freezes.)
(Pause.)
Alex: I'm a Cheerio!
Alex: I'm a Cheerio!

Alex: I like to be a toy. Please again. Please again? Please!

Daddy: Okay, I'm gonna press the broccoli button.
Alex: No you forgot to press the frog button.


Alex: Daddy, look at my sticker!
Daddy: I like it!
Alex: It's -- we have more Thomas stickers. Stickers, stickers, stickers.


Alex: I can do it now because I'm bigger.
Daddy: Yeah.
Alex: I'm a little bit more bigger.


Alex: I don't like peppers. They're not my favorite fruit. I mean vegetables. They're vegetables.
Daddy: That’s right.
Alex: (Mumble.) Bananas are fruit.
Daddy: That’s right. What else is fruit?
Alex: Um, pears. Pears?
Daddy: Yeah.
Alex: And how ‘bout soda?
(Alex laughs.)
Alex: Uh, no!
Alex: How ‘bout a knife?
Alex (laughing): No!
Alex: How ‘bout water?
Alex (laughing): No!


Alex: My Daddy's silly. I loooove my Daddy!
Alex: I'm on TV. I'm on TV, Daddy. I'm on TV.
Daddy: You are?
Alex: Yeah. Said the Science Kid! Said the Science Kid, said the Science Kid, said the sci -- (crazy eating noises)
