me: I think it's over, honey.
Casper: It's over (sadly).
me: Did you like that show?
Casper: Yeah.

Casper: No.

She's developed the weirdest pronounciation quirk - park is now "pike", dark is "dike" and anything with a final R sounds like that gets weirdly inflected vowels. No idea where this one came from - Alexander is still saying "pow-ahk."
