Mummy! Did you see these pumpkin pyjamas?
Yes, I did – they’re pretty neat.
I would like them.
Well, they’re not on our list for today – and I think those are actually glow-in-the-dark PJs. You were a little scared of those last year.
I am not so scared of them this year!
That’s great!
Would you buy them for me since I am not scared?
Nope – they’re not on our list.
What about these ones with the skeleton on them. I know you like skeletons!
Cal, are you just pointing to various things because you want me to buy you something?
[She considers.] Um, yes.
Is that a good reason to buy something?
No. I don’t really need these. I only wanted them.
Cool! So shall we move on with the list?
Yes!
