buzz lightyear to the rescue!

In addition to his new Buzz Lightyear running suit and his new Buzz Lightyear pen and his two Buzz Lightyear action figures at home, Juma's been watching Toy Story ("Woody meets Buzz") and Toy Story 2 ("the one with the scary bad guy") as often as he can get away with at Grandma's house.

To keep up the theme, his new game is playing out the scene where Buzz shows Woody and the other toys he can fly:

Juma: Tell me I can't fly.
Playmate: You can't fly; you're a toy!
Juma: Yes, I can! It's me! [mechanical click sound for his wings popping out] To infinny and beyond! [specacular jump from the couch] [a very proud, defiant look back at playmate] [points finger at playmate] CAN!...Okay, tell me I can't fly.

And he repeats it for half an hour straight.
