Milo: “I know. Wait – are vampires real?”
Morris: “Vampires! Yeah!”
Morris: “Mommy, I have another house. It’s far, far away.”
Me: “It is?”
Morris: “Uh huh. It’s far, far away in Cedar Grove.”
Me: “What’s it like?”
Morris: “It’s got a blue roof. And it’s got a yellow roof. And it’s got a red roof, too.”
Me: “What’s it like inside?”
Morris: “Blackish.”
Morris: “I still have my owee!”
Me: “Hmm?”
Rob: “He has a scratch on his hand but I don’t know how he did it.”
Morris: “I think aliens did it.”
Me: “Aliens, huh?”
Morris: “Yep! Daddy didn’t do it, and you didn’t do it, and Milo didn’t do it.”
Me: “So it had to have been aliens?”
Morris: “Yep!”
Morris: “I’m strong.”
Me: “Yes, you are.”
Morris: “I can lift the house up.”
Me: “You can?”
Morris: “Yep… Mommy, can you help me?”
Me: “Help you what?”
Morris: “Lift the house up.”
Me: “I don’t know, sweetie. The house is pretty big.”
Morris: “And then it would fall and you would say, ow! It hurt! Then I would kiss you and you would feel all better. Okay?”
