DS5 on being asked to not sit on the coffee table:
Me- DS, please get off the table. It's for things only.
DS- Well, I'm a living thing, aren't I? So it seems fair for me to sit on the table, since living things are a type of thing.
Me- Good reasoning. I buy it. Let me revise that: only inanimate things are allowed on the table.

DS on one of his school friends:
"[Friend] is pretty crusty in the morning, so I generally feel out his mood before determining whether I want to play with him, someone else, or do some solo play. I find by the afternoon, he's usually more pleasant."
