The other day there was an older gentleman helping Rob with the backyard.
 Luke: Are daddy and Jonah working in the backyard?
(Both Luke and Thomas were convinced he was Jonah because of his short, white beard, like in the cartoon they've watched of Jonah and the whale.)

As I was spraying some perfume on me,
