Alex: The Pilgrims couldn’t sleep on the ship really well because, if, they got seasick, it would be really hard to sleep on it. Because the ship goes rock, and rock, and you might rock off the hay, so it’s hard to sleep isn’t it?

(Daddy has been trying to convince the kids that they'll eat dinner on top of a radio tower.)
Alex: Daddy is a liar. He lies. He knows we're not gonna eat there. But he tells us; he lies. He tells us we're not gonna eat at Nana's house, and, that's not true!

Alex: What's a side yard? Mommy, what's a side yard?
