changing one word can change a song's entire meaning

Sage was going around this morning singing the "Lollipop" song, but using the word "habitat" instead: "Habitat, habitat, oh habi-habitat."

intellectual property

Evan: "I speak Gibberish. Do you know the Gibberish word for 'best friend'?"

Eric: "No."

Evan: "It's 'nincompoo.' What does 'nincompoo' mean in English?"

Eric: "It's 'nincompoop,' and it means somebody who's not so smart."

Evan: "That's a hilarious word, 'nincompoop.' Pickle is kind of a nincompoop."

Eric: "Well, 'nincompoop' is kind of a mean word. You'd only use it to describe somebody who's not a very nice person and who's also not very smart. Sometimes Pickle doesn't seem so smart, but he's very sweet."

Evan: "Yeah."

Eric: "And he's smart in some ways. Like he's very good at coming up with new ideas for getting into trouble."

Evan: "Yeah. Like, 'I think I'll patent knocking over this bookcase.'"

Eric: "Right."

Evan: "If Pickle gets a patent on knocking over bookcases and makes two million dollars, will you take that money away from him or let him keep it?"

potluck

A busy day at Evan's Lego diner. That's Poppop in the chef's hat. I'm the one outside, "teaching poetry to Rock Monsters."

microeconomics

Evan: "I'm going to sell my Lego motorcycle to Andrew for $10."

Eric: "No, Evan. No monetary transactions."

Evan: "Why don't you want me entrepreneuing at school?"

sweet dreams

Sage: "There's candy upstairs in my room. Can I have that for dessert?"

Eric: "What kind of candy is it?"

Sage: "That thing that's like, sugar dipped in sugar."

what's in a name?

Evan: "Guess who my two favorite characters are from Lord of the Rings."

Eric: "Frodo and Gandalf."

Evan: "Nope. Aragorn and Legolas. I like Legolas because he's a great archer and he's got 'Lego' in his name. He's perfect!"

(Evan would later admit that it was a shame that the name was pronounced "Lego loss.")
