Jobs

Overheard while the kids were coloring and discussing what jobs they could have to earn money.

Thing One: I'd pay you money to put out fires. Or to fix a roof when it gets damaged by hail. (Then a pause for some coloring and, apparently, thinking) Can you believe Dad gets money just for reading peoples' stories and fixing them?

Burn, baby, burn

While the boys are playing their new Batman Leapster game, the villian Firefly utters a confusing catch phrase.
Thing Two: Why does he say, "Burn, baby, burn"? Does he not like babies?
Thing One: No.
Thing Two: Does he not like his own baby?

Fire

Thing One: [Thing Two], if you tried to walk into a fire, I would pull you out because you could really, really die.

Thing Two: Wow!
