Understressed child

(From George)
Gwenchik doesn't want to eat her vegetables.
Gwen: Can't I just have the honeydew melon?
George: No, you have to eat some real food first.
Gwen: But Mom just ate melon, without eating vegetables first!
George: Well, Mom is an adult, so she gets to make those decisions for herself, and she's pregnant, so she has had a hard day. You're still growing - you need vegetables to make you grow big, strong, smart, and healthy.
Gwen: I've had a hard day too! I'm an understressed child with a pregnant mother, so I should get to eat honeydew melon without any vegetables!

Time-out for adults

From Veronika
Gwen: Do you like going doing time-out?  I do not like it at all.
V: Does everyone at daycare has time-out in the corner?

 I went through the kids names - most of them had to go to the corner at some point in time.

Gwen: Adults never have time-out.
V: You are right. When adults break the rules, adults usually have to pay fines, money.
Gwen: Do you know who is the biggest adult?
V: ?
Gwen: Ira (kindergarten's supervisor). She would never pay any fines.
V: What about time-out?
Gwenchik just laughed and laughed, and laughed.
