[On the school Fronter system, when a pop-up asks whether we want to allow an .exe file to run]
Mum: Do we want a program to run?
Boy: No! Press cancel! When you get a message like that, you HAVE to say ‘no’. Otherwise it will run – you know like the Coach tells us to run in PE?
Mum: Yes?
Boy: Well it will run like that – and that’s bad. DON’T let it run.

The clothes machine
Me: Look, Dylan – I got your clothes machine ready for you, so you can get dressed quickly, like you did before!
D: No tops, Mum – it doesn’t work with them! Look – if I start at this end and put the T-Shirt on, then the shirt, then I’ll put my head in my pants, then in my trousers and then in my socks – and my head won’t fit in my socks. The tops can’t be part of the machine.

[Driving home on the motorway]
Me: Can you do the window back up please – it’s cold! Why have you rolled it down?
D: I was bored of sitting here. I wanted to put my head out of the window and stick my tongue out like Scooby Doo does.
Me: I’d rather you didn’t – you might fall out.
