Reaction


"Mom? I'm allergic to orange."

"The whole color?"

"Yeah. Not oranges or orange juice though, just orange."

"What about goldfish crackers? Orange popsicles?"

"No, those are good."

"Then why do you think you're allergic to orange?"

"I got all sneeze-y by those carrots. And Mom? They're orange."

A Tiny Crazy


"So, Bob? You're sure don't know anything about this?"

"Nope. I really haven't been taking your toothbrush out of the drawer and squeezing toothpaste on it and leaving it on the sink. Over and over. Everyday. At all."

"Really?"

"Okay, I did it. Are you mad?"

"No, I just thought I was losing my mind."

"Don't worry. We could look for it."

1,000


"Dad? What time is it?"

"It's almost time for bed."

"I'm going to need to stay up late tonight."

"Why is that?"

"Yeah, I have thousands of energy left for this day."

"Oh."

"You got it?"

"No destroying and no dismantling."

"That's right."

"Okay, but can we... make?"

The View


"Mom? Is that downtown Los Angeles out the window?"

"Yep."

"I can sort of see the Taj Mahal from here."

"That would be pretty hard to do, pal. The Taj Mahal is in India."

"But, Mom? I'm a Jedi, remember?"
