"Sure, use my head as a chair. This is exactly why I had children."

"Pick me up. Save me from these scavengers."

"I love you, too, honey, but can you loosen your grip a bit? I'm struggling to breathe."

"Enjoy your tiny backside now, kid. Mine looked just like yours before you came along."

"Look, I'm happy to be your adoptive mother. Truly, I am. But could I get just a teensy bit of space on occasion? No? OK, thanks anyway."

"Is your name Zuri? I said hands off the present!" (Zuri's the more cowardly lion behind the curious cub.)

"Stare all you want. I just gave birth and will recline however I please."

"Yeesh, I'm your mother, not your chew toy."

"Why am I the one up at all hours feeding them when they don't even look like me?!"

"I'm just going to lie like this and dream I'm on the beach with a margarita in my hand."
