I love toddler conversations

Conversation 1:

Emma: Mommy, can I have my ("mine") Elmo? 

Note: Elmo is up high on a dresser. We took it away from Emma the night before for being naughty.

Me: Yes, you can have him because you're being a good girl now.

Emma (dropping Elmo on the floor): Can you put him in my bed?

Me: No, Emma. You do it please.

Emma: I don't feel like it.

Me: I don't feel like it either, Emma.

Emma: But Mommy, it's nice to help people.

Point taken.

Conversation 2:

Emma (in her car seat): Mommy, I'm breaking my ("mine") pink sunglasses. 

Me: Please don't break them Emma, you only have one pair.

Emma: Actually, Mommy, I have aqua Tinkerbell ones at home.

(I guess you had to be there, but hearing her say "actually" cracked me up. And I appreciated her logic. I should have specified a color. She got me.)

Conversation 3:

Emma (on her swing set): I have to go potty.

Me: OK. Hold it! Hold it! Let's go.

Emma (peeing): Mommy, is my ("mine") pee yellow?

Me: Yes, Emma. Pee is yellow.

Emma: Why?

Me: Good questions, Emma. I don't know why pee is yellow.

Emma: But Mommy, pees are supposed to be green.

Good thinking.
