"Mother says she'll give me a big lollipop if I'll watch Mrs. Gruber's baby for a while..."

                             "Come on, baby.  Let's go up to my room."

            "Want to know what's really fun?  Going down the stairs in this thing!"

                                      "WHEEE!  HANG ON, BABY!"

          "I'll bet you like to jump off things.  Ready, set--JUMP, BABY!"

                                           "Oops, he overshot."

                                "Don't cry, baby.  There's lots of ice cream..."

       "Now, this will be fun.  I'm gonna bounce us right up to the rooftop!"

      "Now we rappel down the outside of the house.  Hang on, baby!"

                                    "I'll bet you love rolling in a tire!" 

                                             "HANG ON, BABY!"

                                 "Don't worry.  This is a friendly T-Rex."

                         "He just wants you to slide down his back."

"Mother says Mrs. Gruber is very pleased because the baby slept all the way home.  So I got TWO lollipops!  Am I good, or WHAT?"

  

                                       "YAY! We're going camping!"

                                 "We love everything about camping..."

                                               "--except the wildlife." 

 

              "GM, let's play Hide and Seek!  I'll count to ten and you hide."

               "One, two, three.....eight, nine, ten!  Coming, ready or not!"

 

"I just pushed all my toys over the edge.  I hope my parents don't get too awfully mad..."

                               "The thing is, I have a new obsession..."

                                                "Trading cards!"

 

"I went to the beach with my friends today and I brought home a fabulous souvenir!  Can't wait to show my parents!"

                                         "I guess they didn't like it."

 

                                             "I just gotta drive a car!"

                           "Oh Father-- the IRS is on the phone!"

                                     "Great!  Now's my chance!"

                           "Okaaay...  Maybe I shouldn't corner so fast."

 

"I'm gonna impress the cute little girl from next door with how fast I can roller skate!  Watch this!"

                           "Really, GM, did you have to hug me right now?"

 

           "I'm not allowed to swing on the French doors but I do it anyway..."

        "I'm not allowed to jump off the furniture but I do that, too..."

"I'm not allowed to use the sofa as a trampoline but I do that, too..."

         "I'm not allowed to play caveman in the big chair.  I do it anyway..."

 "Really, I can't help getting into trouble all the time!  There are too many restrictions in this house!  What am I supposed to do with myself?"

 

"We're packing the car for a trip. Father says Mother has packed too much stuff.  Mother says she hasn't."

 "Father says she has.  Mother says she hasn't.  Father says she has.  Mother says she hasn't."

                        "I don't think they're ever gonna stop arguing..."

"Well, finally!  The car is packed!  Oh, but wait a minute--  They don't have my suitcase..."

                            "Hey, I'm not going anywhere without my toys!"

 

"Mother keeps talking and talking and talking to Mrs. Rasmussen.  I want her to pay attention to me."

                          "I know--  I'll stand here and hum loudly."

                             "Well, that didn't work.  Maybe if I faint..."

          "Okaaay.  I guess I'll have to go inside and hunt for the cookie jar."

                                              "Never fails!"
