• "Must ... not ... blink. ... Can't afford to miss one televised moment of 'The Wiggles.' "
• "No, Mom, my eyes are not glued to the TV — I'm sitting at least three feet away from the screen."
• "Gotta hear it one more time to have the number memorized — '1-800-GET-CATS to order your own pet kitty.' OK, got it — and I'm ready to call as soon as I find Mom's cell phone. And not only am I going to get one for me, but I'll order one as a surprise for Mom and two for Dad."
