• May Wallace Cooper : Well, how's the soup?

  Miss June Crabtree : Oh, it's delicious, only I'm afraid it's a little too rich for me.

  May Wallace Cooper : Oh, I'm sorry.

  Jackie : Tastes like mothballs.

  [Mom kicks Jackie's shin under the table, causing him to swallow a mothball in the soup] 

  Jackie : I swollered it.

  Mary Ann : Tastes like Pa's dress suit smells.

  Mary Ann : [swallowing a mothball as well]  I did too.

  Wheezer : Tastes more like axle grease.

  [Mom pinches Wheezer] 

  Wheezer : Owwwwwww! Quit pinching me!

• Mary Ann : [seeing Wheezer asleep at the table]  Wheezer! What's the matter with you?

  Mary Ann : Aw, I couldn't sleep all night!

  Wheezer : Couldn't sleep? Why?

  Wheezer : Aw, Jack kept huggin' me an' kissin' me all night, he did.

  Mary Ann : He DID?

  Wheezer : Yeah, an' he kept on saying: "I love you, my darling, I love you, I love you."

  May Wallace Cooper : Now, hurry and eat your breakfast or you'll be late for school!

  Wheezer : HEY, DON'T YOU KISS ME!

  Jackie : I'll kiss you with my fist in a minute!

• Jackie : Gee, I thought our first teacher, Miss McGillicuddy, was swell, but Miss Crabtree, boy, she's sweller.

  Mary Ann : Well, what made your Pappy's head swell?

  Stymie : My Mammy hit him on the head wid' a monkey wrench.

  Mary Ann : Did it hurt him?

  Stymie : Don't be silly. How could a monkey wrench hurt your head?
