Logan, do you want some juice?
Yellow juice*, mommy!
OK, here is some yellow juice in your alphabet cup.
No, mommy! Want it out of my cup!
**(Inner thought: how will I give him juice out of a cup? What does that even mean?)**
Buddy, that's your juice.
No, mommy, no yellow juice!
**(Inner thought: it's that or unsweetened sun tea, my friend.)**
What kind of juice do you want?
Yellow juice!
OK, there it is.
Oooh, mommy, yellow juice!
**(Inner thought: where did I put the Xanax?)**
*Watered-down limeade.

Predator Ridge?
Several years ago on a trip to Colorado we visited the Denver Zoo in eager anticipation of their new exhibit, "Predator Ridge." This exciting installation was supposed to be "a panoramic view of Africa!" featuring lions, spotted hyenas, African wild dogs, crowned cranes, African porcupines, banded mongoose, vulturine guineafowl and more.
On the day of our visit, however, the only animals visible at Predator Ridge were two fat lions basking in squares of shade. "Huh," we said. "Two lazy cats waiting to be fed. We can get this at home." And thus, our manor had a name.

We're having a lot of trouble on the translation front too. Frustrating.
On the positive, at least Logan says, "yellow juice." We get, "EEEEEEE AHHHHHHHA MINE!"
