I want somebody who’s real that can walk by themselves to be with me.

(Mommy tells Claire and Alex that they will visit the Montessori school tomorrow, but that Claire will have to stay with Mommy while Alex visits a class.)
Claire (sadly): I wanna go in the class.
Mommy: I'm sorry, it's only for kindergartners. It's only for five-year-olds.
Claire (sadly): I wanna be five.
Alex: Well, you're growing every day!
Claire (sadly): But Alex growed so fast.


(Claire is in bed and is scared. She asks for Mommy or Daddy to sleep on her floor. Daddy tells her that she has her friends – Piglet, Happy, Big Puppy – in her room to take care of her.)
Claire: But they can’t walk by themselves. I want somebody who’s real that can walk by themselves to be with me.
