Wife: Both of you are tired, so no talking after bed tonight.
WK: Except in my head. I can talk to the voices in my head. That's why I have a head, so that I can talk to the voices inside.

WK: When I'm big, I will build a bridge that goes all around England, then over to Japan, then finally to Ireland.
Me: Japan is far away, with oceans in between.
WK: So? I will drain the ocean and lay down my road. I will put all the fish in a big tank until the road is done.
Me: You sure you can do that?
WK: Stop worrying. I won't drain ponds or lakes where rabbits and baby deer drink. I will only drain the ocean. Animals can't drink salt water, because if they do, a big white shark will eat them.
