“Kirkle, what are you doing? Ok! Take a picture of me coloring!”“I can take my own picture, Coco…ha,ha, this is so fun! Look at this face!”

“Uh oh, Kirkle. Don’t look behind you. I think our fun is up.”

“Give me the camera, please.”

“I was just over here coloring nicely.”

“I’m completely innocent, too! Camera? Oh! This camera.”
