Outhouse Lincoln
K: I want to listen to the Abraham Lincoln audiobook!
A: OK. I’d like to listen to just one this morning so we can talk about our project and run the sewing machine. Is that the one you want the most?
K: Abraham Lincoln! Outhouse Lincoln. I call him Outhouse Lincoln because he and a lot of other presidents had to poop in their yards.
Space Preparedness
K: Where can we go where there’s zero gravity so I can practice floating in space?
A: Um….well, we probably can’t go for a long time, but there are places where they have a trampoline room with a giant fan in the floor that blows so hard that it makes you hover in the air.
K: standing perfectly still: Like this? Hover, hover, hover…
A: Exactly like that. With hovering.
Riddle
K: What’s the difference between turtles and runners?
A: I don’t know. What?
K, laughing: They’re both in PUDDLES!
Apple
A: Which apple do you want?
K: The one with the really long wick! I always want the wick for apples.
A: Me too!
K: Can you take it off for me? I’m going to make a tiny Barbie fairy wand.

A: Yeah, I didn’t know she knew that either.
