Alex: Daddy, I went to Romp 'n' Roll, and I made a tortilla, and I have (mumble), and look what's on the back. I drew all the ingredients!

Alex: That was a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago.


Claire: Because dogs don't have hands, so they can't open the door, but if they had a hand, they could open the door!
Daddy: That’s right.

Claire: What is colored on the floor? Who colored on the floor?
Mommy: Grommie.
Claire: But he don’t have some hands!
Mommy: I think it’s blood. He bled on it.

Claire: Maybe, that’s a drawing from a marker.

Alex: They play dog games.
(Pause.)
Alex: So… that’s not – that’s not a mark from – from – a marker. That’s – that’s – Grommie doesn’t have a mark from a marker.
