M: Lilly, I love having you here with me. You are my special little girl.
L: I love you too, Mommy.
M: It’s fun to be together all day, isn’t it?
L: Yes, but it’s not very much fun at night when I’m sleeping.
M: Why’s that?
L: Because we can’t jump or eat or play when I’m asleep. It’s so borin’.

L: Remember when we went to the Aviary with all of those birds, Mommy?
M: Yes, we went on your birthday. That was so much fun.
L: Can you take me to the Wolf Aviary?
M: Aviary’s are only for birds.
L: What is the place called that is only for wolves?

L: Do fish live at the aquarium?
M: Yes, they do.
L: Do books live at the library?
M: Yes… they do.
L: Is a librarium like an aquarium for books?
M: Yes, sort of… except it is a LIBRARY not a librarium.
L: Can we borrow books from the librarium?
M: We can borrow books from the library, yes.
L: Can we borrow fish from the aquarium?

L: Do you think Guinness has a tummy ache?
M: No, why would you think he does?
L: He keeps telling me he’s hungry.
M: Oh, well maybe you should make him a snack, or get him a dog treat.
L: Well, I don’t like dog treats Mom…
M: Well, what would Guinness like?
L: He might love a pack of gummies!
****
L: You really need to drive me up to someplace way high up.
M: Why would I need to do that?
L: Because all these trees are totally in the way of me seeing my MomMom’s house.
M: You won’t be able to see your MomMom’s house, Lilly. It is much too far away. People can’t see that far.
L: Right, we can’t see that far on the ground, Mom. That’s why I said take me someplace way up high.

L: Wait! You didn’t put butt paste on my toothbrush.
M: Lilly, it’s TOOTHpaste, remember?
L: Oh right, Mom, I forgot again!
M: That’s ok. Butts are yucky! Butt paste on your TOOTHbrush would be way-gross!
L: Yeah and toothpaste on your butt would be way-minty!
