The scene: Hayley is putting pieces of wood (from a mini Jenga game) into a plastic cup.
Hayley: When I grow up, I’m going to get married.
Sherry: Really?
Hayley: Yes, I’m going to get MARRIED.
Sherry: Who are you going to marry?
Hayley: Well, I don’t know yet. (the tone was the equivalent of “DUH Mom”.)
Sherry: Okay.
Hayley: I have to practice.
Sherry: Practice what?
Hayley: To get married!
Sherry: I know, but what is it that you’re practicing?
Hayley: (holding up the cup) I have to carry my flowers when I get married.
Sherry: Oh, I see.
Hayley: *walks away humming the Wedding March.*
