Monkeys don't have cell phones!

Claire (with her shirt on her head): I'm a clown!



(Alex and Claire are coloring.)
Alex: Claire, I can help you spell A!

Alex: Now go up -- now go down -- now go -- no -- go across here -- now go down. Then go down. You have to go all the way down the paper.

Claire: Oh. All the way down here?
Alex: No, all the way down here.
Claire: Oh. All the way down here?
Alex: Yeah. Make it go down, now make it go across. I don't think that's a very good A. How 'bout you do the paper like this and then you can. Go up, cross, down, and then across in the middle.

Claire: 'Kay.
Alex: You did it! You made a A!
Claire: That doesn't look like a A.



Alex: Monkeys don't have cell phones!




(Mommy lets Claire pick which parent she wants to escort her to her friend Cecilia's birthday party.)
Claire: I pick Daddy. Because I love him.



Alex (playing trains): I make up good stories, don't I, Mommy?



Claire: I like pink! Pink is my favorite color!
