No.
Alex: Beep! Beep!
Daddy: What's that for?
Alex: That's for some food, in the microwave.
Daddy: Alex, what happens when Claire gets bigger?
Alex: She doesn't have a bottle. A bo -- I mean a bottle.
Daddy: Why not?
(Alex doesn’t respond.)
Daddy: Alex, why doesn't she have a bottle anymore?
Alex: Because she's bigger.
Daddy: What happens when Alex gets bigger?
Alex: I don't have a bottle anymore.
Daddy: You already don't have a bottle.
(Alex doesn’t respond.)
Daddy: So what happens to Alex?
(Alex is doing something silly, and doesn't respond.)
Daddy: Alex, what happens when Daddy gets bigger?
Alex: He -- is gonna be a daddy, and when I get bigger we'll be two daddies, and you'll be Grampa!
Daddy: That’s right!
Daddy: Claire, if a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
(Pause.)
Claire: No.
Alex: Tell me one.
Daddy: What would you take on a desert island?
Alex: Um, I would take Rosie and Thomas. Real -- real trains. And… and I would take… hm… I would take Emily.
Alex: I'm gonna drum right here, because I like Mommy. And I love her.
Daddy: And you what?
Alex (smiling shyly): And I love her.
(bath time)
Alex: Then baby birds came out of the egg. And Cookie Monster and Elmo had to go inside. And Cookie Monster stayed outside, and Elmo had to go back in the egg.
Claire: Uh kiss. Mama.
