Penny: Stop laughing like that 
Abby: That's how I laugh! 
Penny: You're doing it to annoy me. 
Abby: No! I loogie-laugh! I always loogie-laugh! 

Later: 

Penny is asleep in her tent. Abby and I are in her tent, playing "I think with my big brain" and laughing. Mom and dad come up to go to bed. 

"I hear Amy," Mom says. 

Lights out. 

mom: What do I do now?
me: You don't have to do anything, but if you want to take a turn about the house for exercise, that would be great. 
mom: all right. I'll do that. 

[mom walks through the kitchen, dining room, front hall, living room, and back to the family room, remarking on the new stove, the new refrigerator, the presence of the dog, the wreath; says hello to Penny; arrives at the couch]

mom: Okay. So now I sit down? 
me: If you like. 
mom: I'll sit down. 

[mom sits]

mom: What do I do now? 
me: You don't have to do anything, but you can take a turn about the house if you like. It'd be good exercise. 
mom: Oh. I'll do that. 

[mom takes a slightly different route, commenting on the same landmarks]

mom: so now I go to the couch? 
me: Sure, if you like! 

[mom sits]

mom: What do I do now? 
me: You don't have to do anything, but if you like, you can take a nice walk around the house for exercise. 
mom: Okay. I'll do that. 

[mom takes a chatty, observant walk around the house: there's snow, there's a wreath, there's a dog. Hello Penny! Returns to the couch.]

Mom: Should I sit on the couch?
me: You can, but I predict that the minute you do, you'll ask me what you are supposed to do, and I'll tell you to take a turn about the house. 
mom: Well. I'll do that then. 

Later:

Mom: Did we go back to twenty-five Pulaski Street?
Me: I think we did. 
Mom: Who lives there? 
Me: I don't know. I'll look it up. [beat] It doesn't look like a great neighborhood. 
Mom: It's Brooklyn. 
Me: But in Brooklyn. I guess it's ... I don't know what neighborhood you'd call this. But you don't live there anymore. 
Mom: But my spirit resides there. 
Me: Well, your spirit is fine. 

[beat]

Mom: 25 Pulaski Street. 
Me: Right. And where did you live in Sheepshead Bay?
Mom: I never lived in Sheepshead Bay. 
Me: You did. 119 Langham Street. 
Mom: That's Brooklyn. 
Me: It's your neighborhood in Brooklyn. 
Mom: Oh! [pause] Well, you can seee why I did so poorly in geography. 

the mandalorian

 Abby and I wanted to start from Season One of the Mandalorian

 so we started last night (Randy is watching with us so he can say things like "Oh! This is going to be important later." and "Pay attention to that guy!" and we can go SHUTTTTTUPPPPPP)

I told him the look on The Child's face when s/he's watching a deadly terrifying fight is the same face Abby made when she locked me out of the car when she was still in it and I was desperately knocking on the window going "Honey? Honey. Can you pull up the button? Right here. Do you see it? Abby? Abby! Abby? Can you look where Mommy is pointing?" and she's all "😃!"

(Penny bravely went up the three flights all alone and told Randy to come downstairs with the spare keys. She was VERY brave and he knew what had happened immediately and fell down laughing when he got there. He's a very bad man.)
