Adlani: "Do you know there's a monster in the bushes?"
Me: "No, there are no monsters."
Adlani: "Yes there is - the green monster! My teachers told me about it. It's in the Sox book."

Aliya: "I don't think I'm going to have kids. It looks too hard."
Me: "What part looks hard? The birth, or the everyday parenting?"
Aliya: "Well, the birth looks hard...plus when you go to the hospital you can't even enjoy the time without kids because you've got another one coming."

Me, to the waiter at the Melting Pot Restaurant: "If I drink too much wine -"
Aliya: "You'll vomit."
