I now use my powerful, abundant cheeks to express how I feel.

This is happy.

Incredulous.

Stay away from my mobile, tough guy.

I flopped a straight and the guy across the table's got nothing.

What did I SAY about my mobile, big chief?

I will eat pizza in four months.

Can you believe the schnook who tried to use my mobile?

Tell me more about pizza.

This is just gas.

EXCELLENT.

This isn't really an emotion. I'm impersonating those cat statues in the Chinatown storefronts.

Also gas.

Yeah. Gas.

I'm SPENT. Bring me some pizza.

I guess security at these places is pretty lightweight. Mom and Dad were able to get me into a real sushi restaurant!

Do you think the waitstaff had any idea what they were in for?

I LOVE SUSHI!

We got some kind of teriyaki dish too.

Actually, mom ordered herself the teriyaki, and she got me some noodles off the kids' menu, but I made her switch with me.

I know what I'm doing in these places. We don't need to get all pedestrian on my account.

For example, these are chopsticks, mmkay?

Mine came with this nifty rubberband up top.

I don't need it there, but it's nice that they wanted to be helpful.

This is an example of what chopsticks are not meant to do.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how I roll.

See?

Sometimes you do just have to toss back a noodle or two with the tools you were born with.

Mom tried to pass off the kids' menu noodles to Zoe, but Zoe knew better.

Mom and dad introduced me to "caterpillar rolls" today.

No caterpillars were harmed in the making of this maki.

Eh? Did you see what I did there? Thank you. I'll be here all week. Tip your server well. I know Mom and Dad sure did.

Greetings! It has been a while.

Since we last met, I have begun to wear overalls.

Dad says a square-state baby must dress the part.

I also tend to pose like this--and in other ways that seem to indicate interest in what my parents say.

What's that you say over there?

Riley's making sushi again?

One tobikko, please!

(I may be from a square state, but I know what I like.)

Thanks, Big Sis!

As soon as my teeth come in, I'm all over that thing.
