  1. D: severe thunderstorm warning. E: cereal storm warning? Does that mean its going to thunder and cereal will fall out of the sky? D: severe.
  2. E: when you were repeating "somewhere over the rainbow" after me, you sang the wrong notes. It's a lullaby, not a wake up the baby song.
  3. E (from the backseat): oh no!! My fruit cup! That's the thing about eating in a car. You just might make a mess.
  4. E: mama, turn off the hair dryer. It's making your hair all dry and frizzy looking.
  5. E (after witnessing a spider attack): mama, if I was a spider and some lady tried to kill me with her shoe, I'd go ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM!
  6. E: do you know how Abraham Lincoln died? He said something good about our side and then a man didn't like it and he shot him.
  7. E: if we camp can I fish? D: do you know how to put the worm on? E: I guess I'll get some dish gloves then pick up a worm and put it on.
  8. E: mama's a weird lady. She likes to sweat because of spicy food, but doesn't like to sweat because of weather, but likes only hot weather.
  9. E: so what do molecules do for fun? D: they don't do anything, they are things. E: oh, so they're like building blocks. D: I guess they are.
  10. E (out of nowhere): George Washington could bend a horseshoe with just his hands.
  11. D: maybe when we get your hair cut it can be like a unicorn horn. E: no way. D: but you like unicorns. E: not enough to try to be one.
  12. M: if you saw Ronald McDonald walking around would it make you smile? E: no way. It would make me frown. Or make a loud scream. He's creepy.
  13. E: that's so sad that kids in Africa die from the zebras? M: diseases not da zebras.
  14. E (discussing b-day invitations): we'll still need their addresses even if we give invitations at school so you can pick them up one by one.
  15. E: did kids hug their mamas during the civil war? M: of course they did. E: how could they even reach with all those big dresses?
  16. E: is there such a thing as the Easter bunny? M: what makes you ask that? E: somebody told me there wasn't. M: who said that? E: you did.
  17. D: what kind of car would you buy? E: maybe when I'm old enough to drive they'll have flying cars. I'll just get one of those.
  18. E: did you know he helped a tantalized man walk once? D: tantalized? E: yeah. (a few minutes later) D: did you mean paralyzed? E: maybe so.
  19. E: why are smiley faces always yellow? D: that's just how lots of people make them. What color would you use? E: peach, I guess.
  20. E: today I colored the girl's skin brown instead of white because white can be so boring.
