E: Daddy is my little puppy your friend?
D: He sure is. My best friend ever.
E: Is it because you both have hair all over you?


later on...
E: DAD! I need your help!
D: What is it?
E: Can you wipe my butt?
D: You can do it!
E: I can't. Mom and I both painted our nails. They're still wet so you're the only one who can wipe my butt right now.

M: No. It's Martin Luther King Jr Day.
E: Whoa. That's a long name. What is it for?
M: MLK was a really good man who...
E: Is he dead?
M: He is now. A long time ago it was pretty common for people to be mean to one another because they look different or have different color hair or skin. MLK was an activist who told everyone how wrong and mean that was. Everyone is a person and deserves to be treated equally.
E: Did he get rid of bullies?
M: He helped get laws passed so people couldn't be bullies anymore.

M: What do you think of that?
E: I think he needs a catchy name. Like Santa or Jesus or something.
