Dylan invented (pretended to be) a 'walking towel dispenser' (actually a walking 'roller towel', the kind that loops around when you tug on it, which used to be common in gas stations in America in the 1970s and is still common in England today - Dylan loves roller towels) by placing a large towel over his head and approaching people who might need to dry their hands. 'The walking roller towel walks toward you', he explained. People are encouraged to tug fresh towel from Dylan's back, over his head, and down his front.
'I'm not pretending, I'm not joking, you're not imagining, and you're not misunderstanding me', says Dylan, when he's quite serious about something.

Daddy: Yes, we can do as you suggest, but then Mummy won't give you a star sticker.

Dylan: We won't tell Mummy.

Daddy: I have to tell Mummy because she's my wife.

Dylan: No she isn't. Mummies aren't wives.

Isaac dances any time he hears music, by bending and straightening his knees in time with the music.
'Who's going to press the button?' Daddy asked Isaac, as Isaac rode on his trike. Understanding, Isaac held up his index finger for most of the half-block journey to the crossing, where he pressed the button eagerly from his trike.

Isaac had his first haircut today.  He did not cry.

DYLAN: Don't cut Isaac's hair too short, because then there would be holes in his head where the hairs grew out of, and when he ate food, all the food would get squeezed out of the holes, and he would starve.
