M: Nick, maybe you should take the kids on a train ride today, while I am out shopping with the girls.
S: We are going on a train???!!! (runs to the kitchen) Johnley, we are going on a train!
S: (back with me) Can you go on the train with us?
M: If you want me to go, we will have to do it tomorrow, but thats okay, cuz we can do it to celebrate your birthday.
S: Wait, is this a real train?
M: No, it is a train at Allaire State Park.
S: Then I want to go today.
M: Why?
S: Because it is a park.
M: and you don't need me to go with you?
S: No, I thought it was a real train. I would be scared. I would think that Daddy was a bad guy and he was taking us to his secret lab to turn us into bad guys!
pause...
S:Do you remember when I thought you were a giant lizard and I wouldn't cuddle with you?
Gee, a little too much TV, perhaps?
