Sometimes you should eat cheese, and sometimes you should eat a turkey sandwich.

Claire (to Mommy): Please can we have marshmallows for dinner?


Alex: Sometimes you should eat cheese, and sometimes you should eat a turkey sandwich.


Alex: But it's nice and comfy on the sofa because we're gather -- we're gathering.

Alex: Can we snuggle on the sofa Daddy, and you can too? Because I love snuggling.

(Alex rubs Claire's tummy and comforts her.)
Alex: I'm sorry you're not feeling good, and, you're feeling like you wanna watch a different show. You know your family loves you.


(dinner)

Claire: How do you make a sky? Mommy, how do you make a sky?
Mommy: You don't make a sky.
Claire: Oh.
Claire: How do you make a house?
Alex: Wood, nails... a lot of tools...
Claire: A hammer.
Alex: Yeah. That's not all.
Claire: A screwdriver.



(Bed time. It's Claire's turn to have her story read first.)
Claire: Next time Alex is first. I'm gonna tell the truth next time 'cause I did it.
