"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."

 

"Uh-oh...  The cute little girl from next door wants to know if I think she looks fat."

"This is one of those tricky questions, right...?  I'd better not mess this up.  Hmm, what does Father say when Mother--  Oh, I remember!"

                                    "All the more to love, darling!!!"

        "Come to think of it, Mother never liked that answer very much either..."

 

"Homework assignment:  Three jet planes are traveling at a combined speed of x minus 14 deltoids. Express their angle of descent in pre-Chaucerian terms using pedunculate dimensions figured exponentially on the deviated septum quadratic scale of arbitrary free radicals.  Hmm... Maybe I should ask Father for help."
 

 "That's interesting.  Father says I should go watch television and eat lots of junk food while I still have my sanity."

 

"I will NOT go to school!  NOT NOT NOT!!!  I don't care if I spend THE REST OF MY LIFE in the time-out corner!"

 "Well, here I am.  But they won't make me stay long, you'll see.  I give it an hour, tops."

 "Mother brought me my lunch.  Okay, big deal.  I give it another twenty minutes and then they'll start to feel sorry for me..."

                                      "This is looking serious!"

 

"Oh no!  Mother thinks I don't play with this stuff anymore!  I'd better do some fast talking!"

       "Mother says I can keep my stuff if I eat my oatmeal this morning."

              "I'll bet grown-ups never have to make tough decisions like this!"

 

"Oh, look!  The hands stashed a whole lot of Trick-or-Treat candy in here!  I'd better hurry up and eat some before Mother and Father find out..."

"Uuuh...  I can't believe I ate all that.  Now I don't feel so good.  In fact, I feel really awful...  In fact, I think I'm gonna--"

                                                      "BLUH"

 "I'm sick...  I'm sooo sick...  I'm soooooooooooo sick...  Uh-oh...  Here we go again--"

                                                      "BLUH"

           "You probably think I learned my lesson, right?  Right?  Oh, I did!"

     "But I also kept just a few pieces in case my willpower crumbles..."
