Dogs don't wear clothes

Once again, a rush to get to school on time.

Dad: Eva, why does it take you so long in the morning to get ready?  I showered and walked the dog before you even got dressed!
Eva: Well it's because the dog doesn't have to get dressed.

Six pack

Listening to LMFAO's Sexy and I Know It.

Tom: Dad is my body better than yours?
Dad: What?  Depends what you mean by "better".
Tom: I'm growing a six pack.
Dad: Oh you are?

Ignorance of the law

Dad: Eva, if you considered your actions, you wouldn't be in so much trouble. You need to listen.

Paved with good intentions

Running late for dance lessons. Kids are dawdling. I'm shouting. Eva is forcing some crocodile tears.

Dad: Crying isn't going to help. Just be quicker.
Eva: You're making me cry.

All you wanted to know about owls

Eva: Mom, did you know owls can turn their heads all the way around?

Mom: Wow Eva, that's very interesting.

Vampire school
