Julia was playing in the sink with Benjamin and I handed her bowl to rinse out.
Me: Julia, can you rinse this for me please?
Julia: yes, Mama
Me: thanks
Julia: Benjamin, please move out of the way. I need to rinse this bowl for Mom. (pause... then in a low voice, shaking her head) My work is never done.
Both Benjamin and Julia's birthdays are coming up so we've talking a lot about parties and presents.
Me: Julia, what would you like for your birthday?
Julia: huh?
Me: Is there a specific present you would like for your birthday?
Julia: a box of bananas
Me: what??
Julia: a box of bananas
Me: no, really. we want to get you something that you want and would like - can you give us any serious ideas?
Julia: yes... a box of pom-poms and a box of bananas.
Me: ok then.
