Treasure

I had put a Eurythmics CD on and Sweet Dreams started playing...

Thumper: Oooh this sounds like a hunting song.

Me: does it? What are they hunting for?

Thumper (in a very meaningful voice): Treasure.

BallFiend: And they’re going over a bridge. It’s a stone bridge, with lots of lines...

Thumper: ...and they have to find the X.

BallFiend: And there’s bit broken off the bridge...

The story kept going in a similar vein for another few minutes.

Annoying recursion

Thumper: Give it to me.
BallFiend: Give it to me.
Thumper: BallFiend, stop copying me.
BallFiend: Stop copying me.
Thumper: Don't!
BallFiend: Don't!
Thumper: STOP COPYING ME!
BallFiend: Stop copying me.
Me: BallFiend, stop it.
BallFiend: OK. I'll copy myself.
DeepSpice: Don't do that, you'll never stop.
BallFiend: No I won't.
BallFiend: No I won't.
BallFiend: No I won't.
etc.

Shark-infested bathtub

Overheard during Thumper’s bath tonight...

DeepSpice: I’m here to wash your hair.

Thumper holds up a toy shark.

DeepSpice: Hello shark.

Thumper: Noooooo! It’s not a friendly one. You can’t put your hand in to wash my hair.
