Alex: Can we play grocery keeper? I can be the keeper, and you can go home and you can say, “Maybe we need to go to the store.”
Mommy: Okay.
Alex: And this is how we play. We play the game, and you give me the money. We need to go – I’ll show you where – I’ll show you where it is.

Alex: I’m set up. We’re set up but, I need to go pee so we can’t play yet.
Mommy: Okay.
