Loved this episode. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you guys are good friends. In any case, it sounds like you guys are hitting your stride with regards to lively banter, funny voices and giggly rapport.
On another note, I have no idea what future trunks are, but i have great memories of my childhood turtle sandbox. Also, I didn't see Big until i was in high school, so I always thought the toy store in Home Alone 2 was the toy store.
