(playing by a tree on West Cliff Drive)
N: Hey, look, we can go under the tree.
Mom and Dad scuttle under a low branch obediently.
N: There are beetles here.
Mom: There are? What kind of beetles.
N: They're Salamentary beetles.
Mom: Where are they?
N: Up there. They have poisonous tongues.

(washing hands after a rather messy dinner)
N: I didn't realized that I needed to wash my hands. I just realized that.
Dad: That's good to realize that you need to wash your hands.
N: I realized it. (and runs off)
