"It's my turn to wash the dishes again, but I'd much rather do headstands in the sink.  Is this neat, or what?  Just wait till Mother sees this!"

                                  "All right already--I get the hint!" 

 

           "Uh-oh, the car won't start.  This means no trip to the toy store today."

                                                  "Whatever will I do?" 

 

"We're getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner.  I'm helping Father choose a tie..."

                         "I'm wearing a tie, and I put a tie on GM!" 

 "The turkey's all done and the grandparents are expected any minute..."

 "Mother wants me to empty the vacuum cleaner bag and finish vacuuming while she gets dressed..."

 "I can think of a much quicker way to flatten out this bag!  HERE GOES--"

 "Mother says next year she's gonna lock me in a closet until the holidays are over."

 

           "For my school Thanksgiving project, I dressed GM up like a pilgrim!"

"He won't fit in the school bus, so Father is driving him to school for me."

                          "I wonder if Father knows GM gets carsick..."



 

         "It's nap time.  I should play some soothing music for the babies..."

                                "Is it my fault they don't like trumpet?"

 

"I'm so depressed.  The weekend is over and today is a school day.  YUK.  But I have a plan..."

 "I'm gonna paint red spots all over me so Mother will think I'm sick."

                    "Oh hey, the cute little girl from next door is outside--"

                   "That's funny...  She's never run away from me before..."

 

                                        "I hear the ice cream truck!!!!!"

                           "I couldn't help it--  It was an EMERGENCY!"

 

"Today I'm gonna jump up and down on my parents' bed while eating popcorn, just like that kid in the 'Home Alone' movie..."

                 "I suppose I should wait until I'm actually home alone..."

 

             "I'm having a party for my friends!  I'm a great party host!"

                                  "I told Mother I'll clean up later."

             "I really should have known better than to use that word!" 

 

                                              "Poor Mother..."

"I should have warned her about those giant cockroaches we get at school..."

 

"I'm spying on the cute little girl from next door.  She doesn't know I'm watching her play.  She's so cute!  I can't say it enough--she's SO--"

                                          "EE-YOWCH!!!"

                                           "Stupid mailman..." 

 

"For my school project I made a sculpture of President Howard Taft in his bathtub!"

 "Father wants to know why I can't just make things out of pipe cleaners like a normal kid...  Can I help it if I have vision?"

 

"How come I'm the only one who's happy when there's water in the basement?"

 

"I'm not supposed to climb on this railing but how can I resist?  The cute little girl from next door is watching..."

                         "YIKES!  I've slipped and I can't get back up!"

                                               "Somebody go for--"

                                                    "--help." 

 "Mother needs to be told this sort of thing is seriously interfering with my love life."

 
 

                         "It doesn't matter how loud the stereo is playing..."

           "Mother can always tell when you've dropped an armload of dishes."

 

                          "Oops.  I just hacked into the U.S. treasury."

 "Good morning, Mother! Good morning, Father!  I brought you breakfast in bed!  And, um, by the way, the police are wrapping the house in crime scene tape..."

 "I should have known I wouldn't get any points for the breakfast tray."
