I am sitting in my living room with Cartoon Network on the TV. It is 9:28 am and with me are Sweeney (6 months), Pearl (2 yrs & a smidge), and Seymour (8). Here is the transcript:
Pearl: Gackyargans?
Seymour: No, you're gonna watch Kai Lan, then Backyardigans.
Pearl: You wewee fixed it.
Earl: Fixed what?
Sweeney: Screech, blabble, frp
Seymour: Dad, you know what I don't get? Why are girls more flexible than boys?
Earl: Well, umm....I think it's because they have to have babies so they need to be more flexible.
Pearl: Daddy! I wan cupcake!
Earl: We don't have any cupcakes.
Pearl: Awww, paweeeeese?
Seymour [with knees stuffed into his Tshirt]: Look Dad! I'm Yoda.
Pearl: I wan cupcake.
Earl: We don't have any cupcakes.
Seymour: Ooh Dad! Can I show you something on YouTube?
Earl: Not right this minute. I'm using the computer.
Seymour: I know. I meant later.
Earl: Sure...PEARL! Take your finger out of Sweeney's eye!
Pearl: Togeder mend the gakyargan!
Sweeney: Squink, grurdle, uyagh!
Seymour: Dad, look. I taped two pencils together to make Yoda's walking stick.

Pearl: I not baby, Daddy. I Pearl.

Earl: I thought you said you had to go potty.
Pearl: OK. [Runs to bathroom.]
Seymour: These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Earl: What?
Seymour: I'm using the Jedi mind trick on you.
Earl: Oh, right. These aren't the droids I'm looking for.
Sweeney: Grnt, mmweh, weeighit
Seymour: Even though that was actually Ben Kenobi that said that line in Episode IV, not Yoda.
Earl: I think it's OK if you take a little poetic liberty for the sake of creativity.
Seymour: What?
Pearl: OK, Daddy. I all done going potty. [Standing in kitchen, naked from waist down.]
Earl: Good girl! You went potty on the toilet! You're a big girl.
Pearl: I a big girl!
