Game Question: You're planning a sensual evening with your partner. How would you create a romantic atmosphere?

Carrie: I guess the usual stuff. I'd put a bunch of pillows and blankets on the floor...light some candles...light a fire in the fireplace...

Brian: With your laser vision?

Marcus was having a hard time waking up this morning. Brian was holding him, and he said "Good morning!" Then he said, for Marcus, "I'm not getting paid enough to be here."

Our pizza from Papa Murphy's wasn't cooking on the top in the middle, so I turned the broiler on, and just barely burnt the pizza.

Carrie: Thanks for picking up dinner.

Brian: Thanks for burning it.

Carrie: You can't always get your way.

Alyssa: I don't want to get my way! I just want to get what I want!

Carrie: I don't know what I am.

Alyssa: You're a Mom...Do you know who's mom you are?

Carrie: Yep. I'm your mom and Ethan's mom and the new baby's mom.

Alyssa: And Daddy's mom.

(Brian also hollered from the other room, "And my mom!")

(At the zoo)

Alyssa: Mama, what kind of animal is that?

Carrie: Some kind of goat.

(A couple of minutes go by)

Alyssa: The some-kind-of-goat is gone!
