Freshly in from playing outside:
T:Â I’m chemically treated!
Apparently he walked through the neighbors’ recently-sprayed lawn. Fortunately, it had rained hard between the spraying and the walking, so hopefully his chemical treatment was minimal.

Another day, also freshly in from playing outside:
T:Â I touched something long and lean.
A:Â Was it…the monkey bars?
T: No. (pause) I don’t know what it was called.
M:Â It was a worm.
Last night before bed…
A:Â I love you more than ice cream.
T:Â I love you more than broccoli.
If you know my crazy, veggie-loving Tobin, you know what a high compliment that is.
M: In people’s families it’s usually mom/dad, mom/mom, or dad/dad. (pause) Same with hippos.
I was getting Tobin out of bed, and he wanted to linger.
A:Â Are you ready to have some breakfast?
T:Â I don’t want any.
A: Well, I’m hungry. I’m going to eat breakfast.
T: Me neither. (pause) Do you know what “me neither” means?
