a: WOW Daddy, you are both, you're super good!

At the house:
a: Mom, dinosaure bit me!
M: Well he must go on time out now, because we don't bite in our house!
a brings the dinosaure to our time out spot, and says: 'Dino, we don't bite in our house, you are on time out, 2 minutes' (all of this with perfectly mimicking her mom's tone when she puts her on time out)!

At the restaurant:
D: hey pingulinho, que voce quer beber?
a: Chocolate milk daddy!
M: Comment on demande dans notre famille???
a: Chocolate milk, please daddy!!
