March 14 – Daniel eats green beans by first removing the little beans inside and eating them (he calls them “magic beans” a la Jack and the Beanstalk) then eating the green beans and saying “I’m eating their houses”.

March 15 – “The Wiggles not singing this song. They’re eating fruit salad.”

March 15 – Me: “Where did you get your curly hair?” Daniel: “Curly hair store” Me: “Where is the curly hair store?” Daniel: “In Walgreens”
