Birthday wishes

Kate [to Andy]: Just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you get everything you want.

Dad [knowing that Andy's ambitions are quite modest]: Actually, Kate, we're going to do everything for Andy that we can.

Kate: You can't make a thunderstorm.

Go ahead, humor me

Kate [after making dad a PB&J on wheat]: Was it good?

Dad: I can't even tell you how good.

Kate [pauses]: Please?

Healing Brownies

Dad [looking at Kate who is eagerly waiting for the noodles to cook]: If you'll cheer up, we'll have brownies later.

Kate [without hesitation]: I'm already cheered up, dad.

Pun

Andy [after placing a rubber cockroach on dad's arm]: I bug you.

Rapunzel

Dad [after asking who Kate's school friends are]: That sounds like a boy's name.

Kate: Yeah.

Dad: You know you're not allowed to kiss boys, right? If you do I'll lock you in your room.

Kate: Ok.

Dad: I'm serious.

Kate [glances at mom to see if it's really true; mom gives her a confirming look]: I am taking it seriously, dad.

It was a small bubble.

Kate: [upon seeing her school clothes laid out for the morning]: Mom, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you got two shirts for me.
