Business guy Daisy

I look like a business guy because I have this jacket and I'm carrying this thing.
Let me take your picture. 
OK. How does a business guy stand?

Conversation on a Thursday

Daisy: Dad, do you ever think it's one day when really it's a different day?
Dad: You mean like when it's Tuesday and you think it's Monday?
Daisy: No, I mean it's Monday but you think it's Tuesday, because you're so excited about something that's going to happen on Tuesday.
Dad: Oh, yeah. It definitely happens that I'm wrong about what day it is sometimes, but what is it that you're excited about?
Daisy: I'm not excited about anything. I know what day it is.

These are the jokes, folks

Buster, Daisy and Dad have been telling jokes at dinner. Daisy likes to make up her own jokes. A sample: 

What did the steak say to the chicken? (I give up. What?) {Unintelligble fast talking} hola, hola, hola, hola!

Daisy: I have a joke! 

Dad: OK

Daisy: What's worse than biting into an apple and finding half a worm? 

Buster: Your jokes.

Note: The actual punchline is "The Holocaust," though it's doubtful that's what Daisy was going to say.

Double shades, yo

Daisy: Daddy, take my picture and put it on your blog and write, "Double shades, yo."

We have achieved the Heisenberg effect.

How Buster learned about Lawn Darts

In a public restroom, Buster points to the automatic faucet, which turns the water on when it senses hands.

Buster: You know, this is the worst invention of all time.
Dad: Really? You think that's the worst invention ever?
Buster: Yes.
Dad: Oh, I can think of worse things.
Buster: I doubt it.

Daisy, always looking for the angles

Daisy: Dad.
Dad: Daisy.*
If you were a murder criminal, why wouldn't you just join the army?

* About 10 conversations a day start in exactly this way.

Abe Lincoln's hat

Daisy: Dad. Who's your favorite president?

Dad: Abraham Lincoln. Who's yours? 

Daisy: Abe Lincoln. 

Dad: All right! 

Daisy: My life's dream is to wear his hat. 

Dad: I think I have a picture of you wearing his hat. 

Buster: Oh yeah! In the gift shop at Ford's Theater. 

Daisy: But that's not his real hat. 

Dad: Oh, you want to wear his actual hat? Like, we saw it in the Smithsonian? 

Daisy: Yeah. 

Dad: I think you need a new life's dream because I don't think they're gonna let you wear that one. 

Daisy: What if I got 90,000 dollars and bought it? 

Dad: I don't think the Smithsonian's in the business of selling stuff, and if they were I don't think that'd be enough.

Daisy: What if I got 5 billion dollars? 

Dad: I still don't think so, but if you got 5 billion dollars, that's what you'd spend it on? Buying Abe Lincoln's hat?

Daisy: Yes. 

Dad: I don't think that's a wise use of your fortune. 

Buster: Daisy, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my whole life. 

Daisy: I just really want that hat, Buster.

Happy Heaven or: Trouble with cursive

Buster: Can we get donuts?
Daisy: Ooh, can we go to Happy Heaven?
Dad: What's Happy Heaven?
Daisy: That place near your gym.
Mom: You mean Krispy Kreme?
Daisy: No, Happy Heaven.
Buster: Daisy, do you mean that place that's next to In-n-Out?
Daisy: Yeah!
Buster: That's Krispy Kreme.
Daisy: The sign says Happy Heaven.
Buster: Daisy, I guarantee: That place is called Krispy Kreme.
Daisy: Well, they should put it on the sign.

Absent-minded, or pointed, question

Buster has just cleverly answered a question Dad had posed.

Dad: Look at the big brain on Buster!
Daisy: What brain?

Daisy's restaurant, open on Christmas

Can I take your order?

Yes. I'd like a bowl of chili, a salad, some lemonade and a brick.

OK.
