Mommy, I don't want that big, uh, brown thing in my hamburger.

(Claire and Alex are role-playing, and they have to take Claire's baby doll to the hospital.)
Alex: We'll see you later, baby.  The doctor -- the… hospitaler -- will take care of you.  Bye.


Alex: Why do you have to wait for your food in a restaurant?
Daddy: They have to make it.
Alex: Don't they just, already have it out?
Daddy: No, 'cause then it would just sit there and get cold.
Alex: The what?
Daddy: It would just sit there and get cold.
Alex: Oh.
(Pause.)
Alex: Just tell them to make all the food at one time, and then, and then give everybody what they want.  'Kay?
Daddy: Okay.
Alex: Tell the restaurant.


(Alex is excited about going to indoor soccer.)
Alex: I'm wearing my fast shoes, so I can get the ball from somebody!


(Mommy is making hamburgers for lunch.)
Claire: Mommy, I don't want that big, uh, brown thing in my hamburger.
Mommy: But Sweetie, that's the hamburger!


Alex: I bet the people in Florida are really happy!  Because they live close to Disney World, and they can go to Disney World whenever they want!

Claire: Mommy, you wanna see something cool?  You wanna see something cool?
Mommy: Okay.
Claire: I ate it all!


(dinner)

Claire: Mommy, when was I a big sister and Alex was a baby?

Claire: Daddy?  You have to listen to your body, and you have to listen to people!

Alex: I have a big, big giant tummy.

Claire (pointing at the table in front of her): This is a big mess.
