In car conversations

Charlie: Elissa, are you looking at the building or the car?

Elissa: I'm looking at the tree.

Charlie: Is it beautiful?

Elissa: No.

Charlie: Is it poo?

It's a binary world for Charlie.

Charlie tells me about his day at pre-school:

We sang "Baby Jesus" today. We had to sing it for Santa. We had to sing "Baby Jesus" or Santa won't come, because Santa loves baby Jesus.

It is unclear to me whether Santa loves the song, or the baby, so the absence of quotation marks may be misleading.
