Adam is giving Hannah a piggy-back ride and told her to count back from 30.  Hannah is counting very slowly:

Hannah: Thirty......twenty nine......twenty eight......
Adam: Hannah, you need to count faster, my back hurts.
Hannah:  Shhhh dady, horsies don't talk.

Adam and I are watching "Hunt for Red October" and I am fully enjoying listening to Sean Connery speak Russian.

Connery: (in bad Russian accent) Holodryga!!!!!  (subtitles show "Cold!)
Adam: How's holodryga different from holodno?
Me:  It's more gooder.

Sveta came to visit.  She does not get the concept of living in burbs and wants to walk everywhere.

Me: I need to go to the dry cleaners.
Sveta: How far is it?
Me: About  half a block?
Sveta: Let's walk.
Me: Are you crazy?

We drove there.  First, there are no sidewalks to walk on, and two, a block here and a block in Queens where Sveta lives, это две большие разницы.

Becky had a safety assembly in school and they used puppets.  Becky was very upset by it.

Becky: Dad, they used puppets!  Puppets!!!  What are we?  In kindergarten?!?!?!?
