Edward Capt. A: Yes, Mommy?
Me: We're going home. Last time on the slide.
Capt. A: [Flies up the stairs and down the slide at the speed of light.]

Robert, cackling with glee, had only one thing to say this morning, and he shouted it with relish all through breakfast: Eyeballs! [Cackles.] Eyeballs! [Cackles.] Eyeballs!
