Jack puts on The Wiggles CD.
Jack: This is pretty bad.
Dad: Yes, it is definitely horrible.
Jack: Why did you buy it?
Dad: I didn't, someone bought it for you.
Jack: You need to tell them not to waste their money next time. Let's put some good music back on.

NPR
There is a story about Apple and Steve Jobs on the radio.
Jack: Daddy. Be quiet and turn this up. I want to hear this whole thing.
Later, a story about fighting in Afghanistan.
Jack: Wow. So that guy escaped but he didn't have a weapon. How do you think he did that? I'll bet he needed a gun and was sad he didn't have one. I could have given him one of my pirate swords but I don't have any guns.
During a story about a fire in a garment factory at the turn of the century:
Jack: You don't have to turn this off. It doesn't make me sad or scared. Well I guess it is sad that all those people got burned. Can we make sure our fire alarms work when we get home?

Grandparents
Jack: Mom, when I grow up will you be a grandparent?
Tara: Maybe. It depends if you and the person you love have kids. Or if Will and the person he loves has kids. Do you think you'd like to be a dad someday?
Jack: Yeah. I'd like that. But I still want you to be my mom and I still want my dad to be my dad.
Tara: Buddy, I'll always be your mom and your dad will always be your dad. Forever and ever. That will never change.
Jack: Even when I'm 10? Even when I'm 16?
Tara: Your whole life, no matter how old you are. Even if you have kids. I'll be your mom and I'll be a grandma to your kids.
Jack: Oh yeah! Just like Grammy is your mom and Nana is daddy's mom! Wow. That's really cool. I like how families work.
Tara: Maybe. It depends if you and the person you love have kids. Or if Will and the person he loves has kids. Do you think you'd like to be a dad someday?

Nowhere
Jack: Are you going to be around when I'm grown up?
Tara: I certainly hope so. What made you ask that?
Jack: I don't know. I just want you to be here. I don't want you to move away or anything.
Tara: Where would I go?
Jack: Maybe another country. Nowhere.
Tara: Nowhere? If I moved nowhere I'd still be here. Right?
Jack: No. The country Nowhere. Or is it called Middle of Nowhere?
Tara: I certainly hope so. What made you ask that?
Jack: I don't know. I just want you to be here. I don't want you to move away or anything.
