Nara: Oh! Is that the new model? Alice: Yes, I got it for Christmas. Nara: Mine isn't as noisy. Have they improved it? Alice: they increased the number of balls and they enlarged the spring! Isn't it sweet? Nara: That was the most adult conversation I've ever had. Alice: Wasn't it boring?

They get so serious about their poppers. Love it!I’ve heard little kids have these kind of conversations – it’s so cute.

As Richard pokes gentle fun at adults and their banal “car talk,” we get at the same time to enter the gentle world of precocious pre-schoolers! Genius!
