Old Nick: [approaching the closet where Jack is hiding] Hey, you want some candy?Ma: Come to bed. Please.Old Nick: Please? Didn't your momma ever teach you any manners, young lady?
Ma: Ssh. Go back to sleep.Jack: Once upon a time, before I came, you cried and cried and watched TV all day, until you were a zombie. But then I zoomed down from heaven, through skylight, into Room. Whoosh-pshew! And I was kicking you from the inside. Boom, boom! And then I shot out onto Rug with my eyes wide open, and you cutt-ed the cord and said, "Hello, Jack!"
Old Nick: What is that? !s that a birthday cake?Ma: Mm.Old Nick: You should have told me. I'd have gotten him a present. So how old is he, anyway? Four?Jack: Five.
Eggsnake's our longest friend and fanciest. Meltedy spoon's the best to eat with because he's more blobbier. Labyrinth is the twistiest and she hides things so I don't know where they are. Toilet's the best at disappearing poo. Lamp's the brightest, except when the power's cut. You're the best at reading and songs and lots, except if you're having a gone day. I'm the best at drawing, and jumping, and growing, and nearly everything!
