Neve: Mommy, will you play with me?
Me: After I have my coffee.
Neve: But you had coffee yesterday.
Me: That’s not how coffee works, Neve.

Neve: How did I get in the other Mommy’s tummy? Did she swallow me?

Neve: Can you play the song they sing in the jungle?
Me: What song is that?
Neve: You know, it’s the “La Surfer Face” song.
Translation: The Monkees (jungle animals) I’m a Believer “then I saw her face…”

West: There’s a boy on my bus who’s really mean but his name is Christian so I thought he would be nicer.
