"I'm 2 and 4. Or three and a half."

Beer soup: "Bear soup! Bear poop soup! This tastes like bear poop soup!"

Superhero: "I'm the good guy! I trained Alex to be the bad guy. He stays in here, where the bad guys are, in the living room. I'll save you! Here, hold my hand, I'll take you where the good guys live in my room! OK, now you're saved. I'll go back to the bad guys, I live with the bad guys."

Gardening: "Mommy, can you give me a noodle? I'm going to plant it in the ground. Then a plant will grow. A tree, a noodle tree! Haa, that's silly.
(what kind of noodle do you need? cooked or raw?)
"A raw noodle, that's the kind the dirt likes best. And some water."

Mountain biking: "I went biking with Daddy, on a dirt trail! I went over BIIIIG bumps! And I dint even crash! I dint need the band-aids, but I did eat the sweet things! I ate all of them!"

Divorce: (playing with cars) "Hi, want to play? OK, let's play! Is your mommy here? No, my daddy's here. Where's your mommy? They have a divorce. Oh, OK, let's play some more. La la la." (Mr. Rogers did a wonderful episode about divorce; Ivan's been processing this.)

Feelings: "That makes me SUPER SUPER MAAAD! ARRR! (stomp, pretend-hit, guilty look, stubborn pout look)"
