Shopping cart on the bay-zhay…

Alex (singing while he plays with tools): I can fix anything, if I have my tools!

Claire (talking into the pager): Are you coming to my house, um, um, um, Bay-Zhay?


(Claire pushes her shopping cart, and sings, to the tune of “Jingle Bells”.)
Claire: Shopping cart, shopping cart…
Claire (singing): Shopping cart on the bay-zhay…

Claire: I peed in the potty!!


Claire: Can I give you a kiss, Mommy?

Claire: I love you, Mommy.


Claire (at the table): May I have more get down please?


Alex: Remember you have underwear on, Claire.


(in the car)
Alex: Daddy, look at the road.
Daddy: What do you see?
Alex: There’s a can in the road.
(There’s a water bottle lying at the side of the road.)
Daddy: Oh, they shouldn’t do that.
Alex: That doesn’t take care of your Earth.


Daddy: Who’s your very best friend?
Alex: Callum and Neer. They’re my very best friends.

(Daddy sighs.)
Alex: Why’d you say “uhh”?
Daddy: Because I’m a little bit tired.
(Pause.)
Alex: Why’d you say “because I’m a little bit tired”?
Daddy: Because you asked me why I said “uhh”.
Alex: Why’d you – why’d you say what you already said?


(Mommy gets Claire up from nap.)
Mommy: Are you poopy?
Claire: No, you are poopy, Mommy. You are poopy.


(Alex brought some stickers home from Angelina’s party.)

Claire: Mommy, Alex needs to go pee-pee before he gets them.

Claire: Alex, you need to go pee-pee before you get these stickers. Yeah?


(Daddy shows Claire the microphone that goes with the Xbox karaoke game – which she hasn’t played in many months.)
Daddy: Do you remember this, Claire? What do you do with this?
Claire: Um, you, put it in your mouth.
Daddy: And then what do you do?
Claire: Um, make a sound.


(Claire and Mommy are getting ready to leave the house for some special time.)
Alex: Hey, Daddy?
Daddy: Yeah?
Alex: Um, I’ve got a new rule.
Daddy: Okay.
Alex: If – if Claire and Mommy are gone, we can watch TV.
