"i'll be alice and you be mommy. and liv is the dog."

"Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!"

"All in the golden afternoon
Full leisurely we glide;
For both our oars, with little skill,
By little arms are plied,
While little hands make vain pretense
Our wanderings to guide."

"I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet — and yet — it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life!

"I do wonder what can have happened to me! When I used to read fairy-tales,
I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!

"There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought!
And when I grow up, I'll write one."

"The Queen turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at her for a moment like a wild beast, screamed 'Off with her head! Off—'"

"'Nonsense!' said Alice, very loudly and decidedly, and the Queen was silent."

"At last the Dodo said, 'everybody has won, and all must have prizes.'"

"Thus grew the tale of Wonderland:
Thus slowly, one by one,
Its quaint events were hammered out —
And now our tale is done
And home we steer, a merry crew,
Beneath the setting sun."

Cute kids. In the fifth picture down, Liv looks so much like you.
