Sleepyhead

Ping: Are we about to board now?
Mama: No, we're in New York now. You've been sleeping since the drive to the airport. We couldn't even wake you up to say "bye" to Auntie Audrey and Uncle David. How was the flight?
Ping: What do you mean? Did I even go on the airplane?

Carousel birthday party

Ping: Mama, I want to ride by myself.
Mama: No, it's a birthday party, so all the kids have to ride together.
Ping: Can you just not talk to me then?

Sore Loser

Ping: You win too much.
Mama: There's no such thing as winning too much.
Ping: Uh huh. If you win Memory games all the time, then nobody would want to play Memory games with you because they would know you would win and it will get boring.

Green beans

Grandpa: Ping, do you like green beans?

"Why is that guy (on TV) pretending he’s a spy? You’re not supposed to pretend you’re a spy. You’re supposed to pretend you’re a regular person. I’m a regular person…for now!"
