Alex (to Daddy): What did you do on Friday, at work?

Alex: I like that Grandma and Grandpa, yesterday, took us out for lunch.
Daddy: You liked that?
Alex: Yeah. Can we do it again sometime?
Daddy: Yeah.

Alex: Excuse me, Daddy?
Daddy: Yes, Alex?
Alex: At Grandpa’s house yesterday, I told Grandpa that you had a big window on top, on your car, and we could look out it. And he said “That’s right”, because he knows that, he knows that that window’s up there.
Alex: Grandpa knows a lot of things.

Alex: When people sleep on some, mechanics, um –
(Pause.)
Alex: What is it?
Daddy: Hammock.
Alex: Hammock. When some people sleep on a hammock, they have, um – they have blankets on them. Sometimes, they’re attached to blankets. And they pull them up and sleep on them. They rest under them. Or sleep. Like – [Alex glances out the window and sees that the hammock isn’t out there] – why did you take? The? The – what is it? Hammock, down? Why did you take the hammock down?
Daddy: So that it wouldn’t get all wet when it snowed.
Alex: Oh. But it stopped snowing.
Daddy: Yeah and we’ll put it back up when we want to use it.
Alex: How ‘bout after nap. If it stopped snowing.
Daddy: I think it’ll be too cold still. Maybe tomorrow.
Alex: Oh.
