Jealousy

Molly: Daddy, when Liam's mean to me, you don't have to punish him. He's just jealous of me, cuz he used to have everything to himself. And I'm fine with that!

"Wait, Lily, I need to find the plug for your computer." "PLUG? Where ARE you, plug? ... There plug!"

Lily accidentally smacks Mommy in the head with a LEGO helicopter. Lily, what do we say to Mommy? "Surprise! Weee!"

A pokey

Youtube star

Liam: Ugh, Lily has a diaper under her swimsuit? Mom: We don't want
her to poop in it! Liam: Yeah! Then we could put her on the internet!

Knock knock

Lily gets out of bed now, so instead of waking up and calling, she gets up and knocks on her bedroom door to be let out. It's ridiculous!
