ALB “You can take your snack to the park.”
C “it has nuts. What is there is someone in the park allergic to nuts?”
ALB “Good point. You better just eat it outside our house then.”

ALB “We would have to give them a warning.”
C “What’s a warning?”

C “Daddy, there are three boys in the house right now. Come upstairs so I can show you the third boy.”
MJ went up to find a “boy” on the hall floor made out of a soccer jersey shorts, socks, toothbrushes for arms and a legs and a Lego storage box for a head. I’m beaming at Charlie’s cleverness.

Charlie (looking concerned sitting in his bed about to go to sleep) “How will they get me out if I fall in one of those holes in the street?”
ALB “You mean if you fall in a man hole or a grate?”
C “Yes. How will they help me??”
ALB “We would get a very long ladder and climb down and get you. We could get the firemen to help. But since you are good at walking and watch where you are going I don’t think you will fall in a hole.”
C “Ok. They would need a really big ladder. “
T “Yeah. Big ladder.”
C “We could call 911.”
