"I'm supposed to be sleeping, but I keep thinking about monsters under the bed."

              "GM, what would you do if you found monsters under your bed?"

                                             "Oh--  Party all night."

"I'm in trouble again..."

"All I did was show Mother's friends this giant jellyfish I found growing in the bottom of the fridge.  I thought it was way cool!"

"Mother says I embarrassed her.  And you want to know something else...?"

                                    "She wouldn't let me put it back!"

"Today I'm gonna impress the cute little girl from next door with this big fish I caught!"

      "Oh no! The big shot from down the street has an even bigger fish!"

                                          "I am going to win this!!!"

                                                    "TA-DAAAAH!!!"

                                                  "What's a pirana?"

                        "No, Deena!  Don't grab hold of that one; it might--"

                   "I can just hear it coming--  No more educational toys!"

"Wow, look at this huge cake!  Mother spent all day making it.  She'll never notice if I have just one tiny piece."

"I guess she's really mad this time.  Sheez, all that fuss over a stupid cake..."
 

"Problem-solving assignment: Two sailboats on a collision course have a total of nine passengers. Figure the deltoid subtrahend equivalent of their combined volume displacement using the Halstead-Berringer liquid fractal deviation synthesis formula."

                               "Some solutions are just too obvious."

"Well, here I am again, and it's not fair!  What happened wasn't my fault!  But I always get the blame!  I am SO MAD!!!"

                  "I'm gonna run away from home!  THEN they'll be sorry!"

                   "Forget it...  I'll be the rest of my life deciding what to pack!"
 

"Today was Mother's birthday and her friends got her a whole lot of expensive nik-naks."

                                         "Geez, I was only looking!"

           "For some reason, that phrase never seems to reassure them."

"I sure wish there were some way I could spend more time with the cute little girl from next door..."

"I need to prove I'm worthy! I need to show here what a sterling paragon of righteousness, honor, and integrity she has for a neighbor... I need her to imagine me as a future husband..."

"Hey, she's talking to me! She says it's her turn to wash the dishes tonight and she wants to know if I'd like to help...!"

                                                        "Nah."

                           "Oh no!  The hands have left another baby."

                                   "We already have more than enough."

"Poor Mother, she can barely keep up!  I'm gonna have to do something...  Oh, I know--I'll make a huge sign!"

    "Sheez, Father didn't like my sign one bit!  But he won't explain.  Typical."

"I'm s-o-o-o-o crazy about the cute little girl from next door... Wouldn't it be great if she was just as crazy about me?"

                       "GM, how do you get girls to chase after you?"

                        "I guess he's going to have to think about that one."

"Mother wants me to get up and get dressed for school.  I say no. Mother says if I don't get up right now she will put my bed outside at the bus stop. I'm calling her bluff."

                                                       "I think I lost this one." 

"Here we go again... Mother says she'll give me a big lollipop if I clean my room."

            

                "Okay...  I got my lollipop but Mother's acting suspicious."

                        "I'd better hope she doesn't step outside..."

                      "Mother wants me to take the babies out for a stroll."

                                                              "Uh-oh..."

                            "Hey, the speed bumps weren't my idea!"

"Heh, the cute little girl from next door keeps hanging around. So I'm gonna show her my daredevil act!"

"Yep, nothing impresses 'em like roller-skating on top of a car! I'll do a few quick circles..."

           "Now I'll get up some speed and leap gracefully down to the hood--"

"You know, I had a feeling she was just waiting for something to happen..."
