Ryan Steinberg
Age 5: "I wanna be a great football player like my big brother!"
Age 5: "So many people are at the house for my new brother's Brit Milah... why do so many people want to watch this?"
Age 6: "Joshua's been up all night crying. I can't sleep at all in this house! I'm going to run away."
Age 6: "But if I leave home then I won't be able to watch Saturday morning cartoons anymore. I guess I'll stay."
Age 6: "I wanna own a big company like my father!"
Age 7: "Do we really have to spend one hour every day reading the Torah? This is so boring."
Age 7: "Yes my son, you can have anything you want. I expect you to be a great man some day."
Age 8: "I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay, and when it's dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play!"
Age 8: "I put my sister's hand in warm water while she was sleeping! This is so funny!"
Age 9: "This is the coolest thing ever! Giant robots and this girl has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard! Who is this girl? I want a girl and a robot like that!"
Age 9: "I don't want to go to the synagogue this morning! I'm going to miss Mecha-Akio! I can't miss a single episode!!"
Age 9: "What do you mean you can't just buy me a girl and a giant robot? I want it! You said I could have anything I wanted!"
Age 9: "But we're Steinbergs?! I thought we could afford anything we wanted?"
Age 10: "'La La La~ You can love me~ Love me~ Love me baby~ ' This is my favourite song!"

Age 10: "I would be so good at football if I had robot legs. I would kick so hard I'd make the ball go right through the goalie!"
Age 10: "I'm going to learn how to speak Japanese! Then one day, I can go to Japan and visit Tsunmai in person!"
Age 11: "For my bar mitzvah, I want it to be robot themed and I want Tsunami-chan to sing live for us!"

Age 12: "Tsunami-chan lost her voice? That's so terrible! Not even a robot could have a voice as beautiful as hers..."
Age 12: "If I was sick too, maybe then they would let me see her?"
Age 12: "They won't let me in to see her. If I had a giant robot I'd just smash one of my robot arms through the side of the building and take her away with me!"
Age 13: "I want to be with Tsunami-chan forever and ever! I'm going to beg my parents every day until they let me!"
