cul-de-sac

Karen: This circle of pavement is a great place to ride your bike, isn't it? It's called a cul-de-sac but I don't really know what that means.
Jack: Actually, I think it means circle in French.

Planning for the Future

Jack: Can Zoe come for a sleepover and bring her bed?
Tara: We can ask Zoe's mom and dad but they won't be able to bring her bed. She could sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag.
Jack: Oh. Well maybe Grammy and Pap-pap and Nana and Grampa can come for a sleep over.
Tara: Where would they stay? We don't have enough bedrooms for everyone.
Jack: When I'm a grown up I'm going to find someone to marry and live in a big house that has enough bedrooms for our family and all of our friends.
Tara: What kind of job will you have?
Jack: We will go door to door and car to car.
Tara: What do you mean? What kind or work will you do to earn money to pay for your big house?
Jack: Yes, I will hold the sign and my wife will hold the bucket.
