"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..."

 

"The Rasmussens are giving away kittens for Halloween! Father says we've been had. Mother says we should take them something they don't want, in return."

                              "Well, okay...  I sure hope she's serious."

 

"I'm all done decorating for Halloween! I just know the cute little girl from next door will be really impressed!"

                 "That's funny...  She doesn't have any decorations up at all."

                                          "Oh.  Her father's a dentist."
