12/13 UPS Shipping Center
Laney admires the Christmas tree, with its pretty, shiny ball ornaments. Studies an ornament from the tree, thoughtfully.
Mom (Interior monologue): How nice that she's being so gentle with that ornament.
Laney: (rips ornament from the tree, and spikes it to the ground, where it explodes in a million pieces, sending ornament shrapnel into the neighboring county). BOUNCE!
Mom: Laney, NO!
World's Sweetest UPS Employee: It's okay. I figured that was going to happen sooner or later.
Mom: Well, I'm so glad we could be the ones to get it done for you.
12/19 Southgate Mall, Santa Land
Santa (offering up huge basket of candy canes): Would a piece of candy make you feel better?
Laney: Don't like dat candy! Is too spicy.
12/21 United States Post Office, Frenchtown Montana
Laney sticks her whole head into the under-the-counter bin marked "Waste."
Laney: (yells) Coyooootes! (removes her head from trash bin and announces) Is ok, Mommy. 'Eres no coyotes in dere.
Postal Clerk: Did she say "Coyotes?"
Mom: I believe she did, yes.
Postal Clerk: Has she ever seen a coyote?
