I think it’s cute how his hair reminds me of dill.

That new kiddie car smell? Brilliant! Now if only they could make an air freshener, in the shape of a little pine tree, for us to hang on our rear-view mirrors…

Hurry, Petey. The “new kiddie car” smell can’t hold out long against the “same old Dill” smell.

Reminds me of this story a friend and I wrote, where there was this one Jewish character. He wanted to be a good Jew, so he even said it “G*d”, just to be sure to follow the commandment.

I think Dill is inhaling a little too much new plastic. Those eyes…

I am 100% with My Hero, Petey, today!

Kiddiecars do not have that “new car smell”; they might smell if the kid has piddled on it….

And I have no idea how Alice pronounces an upside-down A. Maybe something like “V-stroke, V-stroke”?
