[Driving around without Mom]
Corwin: Let’s get some bagels for dinner.
Charles: I want a raisin bagel!
Alice: I want a plain bagel!
Dad: If Alice gets a plane bagel, I want a train bagel. Or maybe a car bagel.
Charles: There’s no such thing as a train bagel.
Alice: I have some in my pocket, but I can’t get them out right now.
I think I have no choice but to start referring to the place Alice lives as “Wonderland”. Tonight we had this conversation —
Dad: Can I call you “Alice Super Silly Pop”?
Alice: No.
Dad: Can I call Charles “Alice Super Silly Pop”?
Alice: Yes. You can call him Daddy Corwin Super Silly Pop! [pause] That’s a nice word for Africans.
Then she wanted to know what “AOMKQB” spelled. She wouldn’t believe I didn’t know the word. Finally we argued about a Dora episode which she said had a king. I said it was a prince, and when Dora said “we have to save the prince!” I nudged Alice and said “haha! see!”. Alice simply stated “The TV said the wrong word. It’s a king”.
