Well I'm thankful for my Grandma.

(Claire comes home from school.)
Claire: Daddy! I ate cheese, with a sandwich.
Daddy: What did you eat?
Claire: I ate cheese, with a sandwich. Turkey.
Alex: There was turkey in it. Under it.


(Daddy isn’t playing the way Alex wants him to.)
Alex (to Daddy): I want you to do what I want you to do.


Alex: Well, someone’s thankful for Soorya.
Daddy: Oh.
Alex: And Angelina’s thankful for Thomas the train.
Daddy: And what are you thankful for?
Alex: Well I’m thankful for my Grandma.
Daddy: That’s sweet.


(Daddy is hugging Mommy.)
Alex: May someone pick me up so I can be in there too?
Alex: Pick me up so I can be in there.

(Mommy and Daddy are talking about a stuffed animal with a suction cup on it.)
Daddy: What are you supposed to stick it to?
Alex (to Daddy): Are you gonna stick it to somebody? I’m gonna stick it to Daddy.

Claire: I like chocolate.
Mommy: Who doesn’t like chocolate?
Alex: Nobody doesn’t like chocolate.


Claire (semi-singing as she reads a Curious George book): Every single letter is getting a cat.

Claire (reading the last page of Curious George and the Puppies): I love you, doggy! I said to you, the end.
