Love isn't Houdini

Dad [responding to knocking at his door]: Who is it?

Kate: Can I come in?

Dad: What do you need?

Kate: I don't know how to describe it. [pauses] Um, I know! It's, "love." Love is someone who will comfort me and protect me.

[Editor's note: She got in with that last line.]

Don't actually eat your heart out.

Dad [to Kate, while watching a skating movie with the family]: Is she skating with her heart?

Kate: Well, not literally.

The best ingredients

Dad: Do you like pancakes made with love?

Kate: Yes, and Kateness. And maybe a Kate-ism.

Replenish the Kateness

Dad: Do you still have Kateness?

Kate: Of course; it refills each time I take a drink.

Dad: Do you have to drink anything special, or just water and milk?

Kate: Also juice, Gatorade®, lemonade, limeade, and most sodas.
