“I get out of the shower and Zoey is sitting on the toilet staring at me!”
“That’s because she either wants you to fill the graywater bucket up to the top so she can drink out of it, or sit on the toilet so she can jump in your lap.”
“Well she better get over it because neither of those are gonna happen.”
(a short time later)
“I think I’m going to get a leash and take Caolan for a walk.”
“Why?”
“Look at him following at my heels from room to room, staring up at me!”
“That’s because he wants you to pick him up so he can give you kisses.”
“I’m not gonna pick him up and let him give me kisses. Then my face’ll itch all day.”
“You could wash your face. He wants to show you how much he loves you.”
“No he doesn’t. He’s neurotic.”
“No, he loves you.”
“He’s neurotic.”
“No, he loves you.”
“This conversation is going nowhere. See you tonight.”

Hmm. I think I’m a Barry that wants to be a Claire when I grow up.
