- Fran Sinclair: [after showing Baby the video entitled "Solo Wilderness Ritual"] So, did you understand the tape?
- Baby Sinclair: Yeah, gimme a cookie!
- Fran Sinclair: But we are all out of cookies.
- Baby Sinclair: Go to the store!
- Fran Sinclair: NO, and that is why you need to be left out in the woods so you can learn that the world does NOT revolve around *you*!
- Baby Sinclair: Mama's not going to the store?
- Fran Sinclair: Nope.
- Baby Sinclair: Ah, I understand...
- [slight pause]
- Baby Sinclair: Daddy, go to the store!
- Fran Sinclair: Earl, you promised to take Baby out for his solo wilderness ritual.
- Earl Sinclair: Not today, my sweet.
- Fran Sinclair: It has to be today. This is the third Sunday after his second birthday as set forth in The Book of Dinosaur.
