And my face would not turn into your face.

(dinner)

Alex: Daddy, one day, I ate the biggest broccoli ever!
Daddy: Wow! How big was it?
Alex: Its stem, went all the way into outer space!

Claire: And Daddy, I ate a big, tall, sun butter and jelly, and then I ate it all up!
Daddy: Wow!
Claire: And that would not make my tummy hurt.
Daddy: Wow.
Claire: And my face would not turn into your face.

(Daddy is drinking a soda.)
Claire (to Daddy): Why are you eating that yummy thing?
Daddy: Because it’s yummy.
Claire: What is that?
Daddy: It’s my soda.
Claire: Why are you eating that?
Daddy: Because I’m thirsty.
Alex: Today is Thirsty Day, Claire.

Alex: Tomorrow is Ear Day, there’s gonna be ears rolling all around on the sidewalk.
Daddy: Neat! I can’t wait!
Alex: And then after that, we’re gonna have Head Day! There’s gonna be heads talking to us on the sidewalk!
Daddy: Oh, that sounds a little scary.
Alex: Yeah. I don’t like that day. But then the next day is the yummiest day! You get to eat chocolate muffins all day!
Daddy: I can’t wait!
Claire: Me either!

Alex: But after Chocolate Day, comes Thirsty Day again!

Alex: And then Lollipop Day!
Claire: Oh! Fun!
Claire: That would be so, much –
Alex: And then Paint Day. Paint’s gonna be raining from the clouds.
Claire: Oh no, then we couldn’t go outside.
Claire: Then it’s gonna be – Sharkie Day.
Alex: Sharkie Day! There’s gonna be sharks eating us!
Claire: Yeah. And then there’s gonna be sharks eating us, all of the people, in all of the tummy.
Claire: And all of the houses. They’re gonna eat all of the houses, and all of the… weeks.
Alex: Oh no! And they’ll also eat Miss Worthington!
Claire: Yeah. And it’ll eat all the teachers’ houses.
Alex: And all the heads!
Claire: Yeah. And all the houses, and all the people, and all the windows, and all the …
(At some point, Claire gets down from the table and starts running around the kitchen in a circle.)
Claire (running in a circle): …All the food and all the things if they need it… and all the stuff, if they need it, and all the kids, and all the people, and all the sharks and whales, and they will eat, some sharks and whales, and they will eat, in their floor, and so many toys! And so many books, and all of the houses, and –
Alex (smiling): She keeps saying them over and over again.
Claire: …And all of the stuff again, and if they need it, they can, and if they see any of it, they can, they will, eat so many, so they will run around in the kitchen, then they will get so dizzy, then they couldn’t see any, in the kitchen…
Alex (smiling): She’s so silly.

Alex: It’s fun to talk about what you did do at dinnertime.

(Daddy invents a fictional person just to see how Claire will respond.)
Daddy: Claire, do you still play with your friend Flo-Flo?
Claire: Yes.
Daddy: What do you do?
Claire: I play with Ashley and Flo-Flo, and he sits beside me at snack and lunch.
