Alice: Daddy, I had a bad dream last night!
Dad: You dreamed you were a star-bellied Alice?1
Alice: No. That was a good dream!
Dad: Oh. Did you dream that Daddy hugged you until you popped?
Alice: No.
Dad: Oh, can I hug you until you pop?
Alice: NO!
Dad: Oh.
Alice. You have to say “please may I hug you until you pop?”.
Dad: Please may I hug you until you pop?
Alice: Yes!
1 I got a roll of star stickers for Alice and had been asking her if she wanted to be a star-bellied Alice. She was, for a little bit. Later she was a star-footed Alice as well.
