Theo: Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you…
Mabel: WHERE’S MY PRESENT?
Theo: …The people are your present, Mae. The people at your birthday.
Mabel: Yeah, but where’s my present?
Theo: Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you…
Mabel: WHERE’S MY PRESENT?
Theo: …The people are your present, Mae. The people at your birthday.
Mabel: Yeah, but where’s my present?
I’ve put socks on Mae; stripes of silver, pink and purple.
‘Now, if I can’t find your jellies Mae, you’ll have to wear your crocs.’
And she says to me:
‘My crocs don’t go with these’.
Mabel: I can’t have sugar because it makes me bossy.
Mabel: If we say nah, nah, nah-nah, nah the Police will run away!
In the car, en route to the Supermarket, passing a Police checkpoint.
Theo: I’m a bit funny sometimes.
Mabel: Tell me a funny joke!
Theo: Um…why did the chicken cross the road?
Mabel: *ROARS WITH LAUGHTER*.
Theo: Told you.
Mabel: This is very fun! And horrible! Elephants keep getting on me! Geez, my nuts!
Alice: I love you, Mae-Mae. I think you’re clever and kind and funny.
Mabel: I love you too, Mama. You’re funny and crazy and funny and covered in sticky spots.
Mabel (on the potty): Mama! My wees are so loud! Like a snake!
Mabel: Why are tomatoes so complicated?
