Hilarity

This conversation took place in the back seat of my car while I was driving Will, Hallie, and Will's best friend Logan home from school one afternoon. Though the conversation is written in a way that makes it look like the children took turns speaking, it's important to note that all three of them were talking over one another the entire time. I never had a chance to answer their questions because they so quickly moved on to something else; instead I took mental notes so that when I arrived home I could type up what they'd talked about. Enjoy!

Hallie: You’re sitting next to me, Logan!
Will: I’m sitting in the way back!
Logan: I don’t like this song. (The radio was off.) I like Jack Johnson.
Will: I have SO many cup holders back here!
Logan: My sister likes Justin Bieber.
Hallie: You’re sitting next to me, Logan!
Will: Justin Bieber sings Baby, Baby.
Logan: This is how you make a heart.
Will: Can we play the Wii?
Logan: I love my mom. I kiss her all over.
Hallie: You’re sitting next to me, Logan!
Will: Can we play the Wii?
Logan: I have two lunch boxes. One is a hot dog.
Will: I have a hotdog race car.
Logan: We did apple pie tasting at school today.
Hallie: You’re sitting next to me, Logan!
Will: Have I ever had pie?
Logan: It was made of cookies and marshmallows and chocolate syrup.
Will: How many kinds of pie have I had?
Logan: It was delicious.
Hallie: You’re sitting next to me, Logan!
Will: I’ve had apple pie, peach pie, banana pie, pumpkin pie…
Logan: My backpack is sitting next to Will.
Will: Baby, baby, baby ohhhhhh, like baby, baby, baby ohhhhh!
Logan: Where do you live?
Hallie: (Having given up on someone acknowledging that Logan was sitting next to her.) Miss Holly left me.
Will: Have you ever seen Tom and Jerry?
Logan: I live in CastlegateCollegeStationTexas
Will: I live in College Station too!
Logan: Do you have a Mario purse?
Hallie: Miss Holly left me to go to kinnergarnen (kindergarten).
Will: It might rain. We should play inside.
Logan: I don’t like tornadoes.
Will: What's a tornado?
Logan: I do like Storm Troopers.
Hallie: WHERE’S MY LUNCHBOX?!
Will: Lightening can electric your house.
Logan: Oh snap.
Will: Or your garage.
Logan: Baby, baby, baby ohhhh, like baby, baby, baby ohhhhh!
Hallie: I NOT WEARING ANY SHOES!
