• "Grandpa, I don't know if I really like having watched the 'Up' video with you again this week . . . and what's that other two-dozen balloons in the kitchen for, anyways?"
• "This is kind of an expensive and time-consuming way to give your favorite grandson a wedgie, isn't it, Grandpa? And so much for the element of surprise, too."

• "Why do the older girls always think they have to drive?"
