"It's fun to put all my boats in the water. But there never seems to be enough water."

"Father says I have too many boats.  I wonder if I should tell him about the contest I entered--"

                      "--and won!!!  YESSSSS!!!  Is this cool or what?"

                             "It's finally happened...  I can't find my bed."

"This means I either clean my room or pass an extremely uncomfortable night sleeping on top of my toys."

 

"There was a special offer inside my cereal box.  I filled out the little form and checked off which toy I want.  Now I just need money..."

                                    "So I'll sell lots of lemonade."

                               "It sure beats trying to find my piggy bank!"

"We've been played with again and this time, the hands left us all stranded on the roof."

 "Oh good.  Father has managed to slip through.  Now he can bring a ladder for the rest of us."

                          "Uh-oh...  Father says he's stuck in my room."

                                                "He's kidding, right?"

"Well, here we are waiting for the school bus again. My parents have locked the front door so I can't hide inside and play hookey."

"But they forgot there's never any glass in dollhouse windows!  Heh, heh... Parents are so easily fooled..."

                                                "...sometimes."

            "This year, I'm gonna have a good attitude toward homework."

"Two trains are traveling in opposite directions.  One is fifteen minutes late and the other is full of live turkeys.  What is their combined speed?"

                                   "I'll have a good attitude next year."

                                           "AAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!!"

"I just had the most awful nightmare...  I dreamed I had grown old in the time-out corner..."

"I'd better start behaving right now. That means not eating ice cream for breakfast..."

                                       "So much for good intentions."

"Uh-oh... Mother wants to clean my room. I'll tell her there's a pan smoking on the stove..."

         "Maybe short-term solutions aren't always the best approach."

"I am now going to impress the cute little girl from next door by juggling these bowling pins.  Here goes--"

                 "Somehow I don't foresee a brilliant future as a circus act."

"Mother and Father want me to be more like them. They take pride in their clutter-free lifestyle..."

                            "I wonder if they've checked the attic lately."

 

               "Mother got me this real neat book of punch-out Valentines."

           "I'm gonna pick out the best one for the cute little girl next door."

"She'll love this one!  It's perfect!  It's the prettiest one in the whole book!  She'll know it's very special!  She'll--"

                   "Some days I have to wonder why I got out of bed..."

"Where did Mother hide the cookies this time? She's getting awfully good at this."

    They're not in Deena's room, or the TV room... They're not in here."

"They're not in here either.  That means she put them in the one place where I'll never find them--"

                                                       "My room."

"The big shot from down the street has a big new airplane and he won't let the cute little girl from next door play with it."

"Hey, now's my chance!!!  I have a plane just like that one.  Maybe she'd play with mine!!!"

                                              "Oh, no...  It's way over there."

              "If I calculate my jump just right, I think I can land next to it."

"Father says a clean room would have impressed her more than any toy airplane.  He's kidding, right?"

"I'm famous for my come-backs...  Like today, when Deena and I left a few toys in the living room and Mother said clean them up or no dinner, and I said--"

                                              "What's for dinner?"

                                   "Maybe this one needs a little work..."
