When the mother returned from the grocery store, her small son pulled out
the box of animal crackers he had begged for, then he spread the animal-shaped
crackers all over the kitchen counter. "What are you doing?" his Mom asked. "The box
says you can't eat them if the seal is broken," the boy explained. "I'm looking for the seal."

Laura, 7, was asked to retrieve a Phillips screwdriver from the kitchen and bring it to her
mother. She got one and said, "I think this one is the Phillips screwdriver because the
other one said Stanley." (And, yes, she did have the Phillips screwdriver.)

Jacki's twin daughters were about 5 when their dad called on a Friday afternoon to see
if they would like him to bring home some ice cream sundaes.  The twins were excited
about the unexpected treat.  While waiting for their ice cream sundaes, Lindsee asked,
"Mom, when is Dad going to get here with our ice cream Fridays?"
