Alex: Daddy, why aren’t you wearing your orange stripey shirt?
Daddy: I will, after I take a shower. We’re gonna wear our orange stripey shirts today.
Alex: So we can be the boys.
Daddy: We can be the boys.
Alex: We can be the football boys.

Claire: I’m putting some on!
Alex: Who’s putting those cards on the table?


Alex: I wanna have a nap.
Daddy: You wanna go lie down in your bed?

Claire: It’s funny with my big -- bib on with no shirt.

Alex: What am I having?
Mommy: Cheese sandwich.
Alex: Yayyy!

Alex: Can you teach me?
Daddy: Yes.

Claire: Mommy? If we eat all desserts, every day – tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow – it would feel yucky.
Mommy: Yeah.
