a morning three-way

A morning three-way conversation with my children, that is.
t.rex: I tink dere are bad guys here.
me: At the bus stop? Why do you think that?
t.rex: Because dey are dark. You no can see dem.
me: What do they want with a bunch of sleepy parents and kids?
the biscuit: Um, maybe you're forgetting my piggy bank? And all my JEWELS?
me: Sweetheart, bad guys need more than $3.72 and some plastic gems. They want billions and billions of dollars.
the biscuit: What about my computer?
me: The one that plays a Barbie song?
the biscuit: Oh.
me: Yeah.
the biscuit: Is that my bus?
me: Yep.
the biscuit: Oh, BORING. I hate P.E. day!
me: Hate is a very strong word that we don't use. But I hate P.E., too, so I guess that's okay. Have a good day. I love you!
the biscuit: Bye! I love you! Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!
me: Duly noted.
t.rex: It is time to pick up Sister?
me: No. She's not even on the bus yet.
t.rex: Then it is time to eat oatmeal?
me: Yes. Let's drive home and get you some oatmeal.
t.rex: MAYBE DAT IS PRINCESS LEIA?
me: I'm pretty sure that's Kai's mom.
t.rex: NO, DAT IS PRINCESS LEIA ON HOTH!
me: This isn't Hoth.
t.rex: IT PRETTY COLD.
me: I'm not wearing shoes. It's not cold.
t.rex: DAT IS STILL PRINCESS LEIA.
me: And what is Princess Leia doing in our neighborhood at 6:53am, walking home from the bus stop?
t.rex: SAVING US FROM DOZE BAD GUYS I JUST SAW.
me: Wow. You totally brought that one around full circle!
t.rex: YETZ. I AM YOUR LEADER, DUKE. DO WHAT I SAY.
me: Not a chance, dude.
