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!

It's a hard girl's life

It was 90 degrees outside today, and we saw a guy bicycling past without wearing a shirt. Gwenchik watched him pass, envious.
Gwen: I don't like being a girl.
Me: Why?
Gwen: Boys don't have to wear shirts, can pee standing up, and don't have to give birth. Life isn't fair.
