"Wait, wait. You're not supposed to run in school."
"I don't think Cinderella is in school at this particular point in the story."
"But if she runs in school, she would get a time-out."
"Noted."
"I'm better at school than Cinderella. I don't ever run in school."
"That's awesome, Leta. Keep up the good work."
"So I think you should let me have ice cream for breakfast."
