[sat morning while watching ninja turtles:]

audrey: uh-oh, mommy! where'd da turtles go?
me: it's a commercial.
audrey: a tomurshul?
me: when you watch big kid tv, there's breaks called commercials.
audrey: tomurshuls?!
me: yup, the turtles need a break, so they play commercials.
audrey: mom, where'd da turtles go?
