King of the World? Big Deal

I think we'd have to talk to her first.

Felix: Dad, is the Tooth Fairy imaginative?

One man's King of the World is another man's...

Cosmo: I am the toilet manager!

Not all learning is curriculum-based.

Felix: Before school, when she didn't think we were listening, I heard Miss Whitmore say that she's overworked and underpaid. I said, "I heard that!" Miss Fitzpatrick said she's REALLY overworked and REALLY underpaid.

The weather report makes children spring into action.

Felix: I need to move my soccer trophies away from the window because there are going to be severe storms today. (Moves them.) I put them on the shelf and now, if there's a thunderstorm or a tornado, they won't be damaged, at least not very much.

Hey, fair is fair.

Cosmo: Even though Felix got to the finish line first, it was still a tie.

***

No idea.

Cosmo: (looking at my beard, I think) Wow, your skin is growing tall.

C: It wasn't fun, it was grown-up.

F: I wish I could just walk around showing off in my underwear.

F: The most important things to me are: first, macaroni and cheese with hot dog slices; second, my family; third, Spain. I am so obsessed with Spain.

Felix: (pointing to the bus driver's plexiglas safety shield) Daddy, what's that for?

F: Oh. I thought it was in case someone shot a gun at him.
