Random Memories

Mr. Bluth walks out of his room with a bright green shirt on. He had just changed. Adaline looks up from TV show she is watching.

ADALINE: Cute! (goes back to watching her show)

---

Baby-sitter is telling Mr. Bluth about how well-behaved Adaline was. Tells him that Adaline showed all of her toys. Adaline pulled almost all of them out one-by-one. Eventually she found a blue bell.

BABY-SITTER: Que es esto? (What is that?)

ADALINE: Go Mommy go! GO MOMMY GO!

(Mr. Bluth realizes that this was the bell that he and Adaline carried with them and used to cheer on Mrs. Bluth for her marathon 8 months earlier!)

---

Adaline gets in trouble at the pool for trying to bite two different friends (including her best friend!). Because this is new, and severe, behavior, Mr. Bluth talks to her the whole bike-ride home about not biting. They get home to tell Mrs. Bluth what happened.

MRS. BLUTH: What happened at the pool?

ADALINE: I comiendo los dedos de Viola. (I was eating Viola's fingers.)

---

Walking home with the neighbor boy after his baseball game. Adaline is in the stroller and he is walking beside her and holding her hand. He is telling everyone about the time that he saw a garden snake. He knew that it was not venomous because venomous snakes have wide mouths and heads because the poison is stored in little pouches on the side of the head. But this snake had a narrow head...

ADALINE (Interrupting him and with a tone of "ah, this explains everything"): Ah, narrow!

Everyone laughs.

---

Just after waking up this morning, we're all three laying in bed. Adaline is playing with a headband and Mr. Bluth puts in on his head.

MR. BLUTH: Oh es para mi pelo? (Is this for my hair?)

ADALINE: Papi no tiene pelo. (Papi doesn't have hair.)

---

Mrs. Bluth takes a couple of Tylenol and walks out of the kitchen. Adaline walks in.

ADALINE: Papi, necessito medicina. (Papi, I need medicine.)

PAPI: Mami no se siente bien, por eso toma medicina. (Mami doesn't feel well, that's why she's taking medicine.)

ADALINE: (unintelligible babbling that sounds like "mermo")

MR. BLUTH: Huh?

ADALINE: (mimes vomiting and makes vomiting noises)

MR. BLUTH: Oh! Estas inferma! (Oh! You're sick!)

ADALINE: Si, y necessito medicina. (Yes, and I need medicine.)

She wasn't really sick.
