Watching Edward Scissorhands:
  • Aiden (7): He's an artist at cutting.

Before Trick-or-Treating:

  • Robert: Chloë's being very disobedient right now.
  • Aiden: I'm not.
  • Robert: I know, thank you for that.
  • Aiden: I used to be.
  • Robert: Yes, you're very reformed. (My nerdy shout-out to Reformation Day!)

Getting (cheap, thin, not warm) Darth Vader costume on:

  • Sarah: Are you going to be warm enough tonight in that?
  • Aiden: Yeah.
  • Sarah: Are you even wearing underwear under that?
  • Aiden: ...
  • Sarah: You are wearing underwear, right?

Chloë, in her tiger costume:

  • Aiden: What's filet min-yawn?
