From a babe's mouth

This is the funny conversation I had with Leah tonight....

Setting:  Leah is in her room cleaning up the Mr. Potato Head pieces.

Leah:  Can you help me clean this up? I think Cameron did this.
Me: (in a teasing tone)You need to learn that any mess in your room is your mess not a brother or sister's.
Leah:  (in a serious tone) But Cameron can walk.  [slight pause] And Cameron can take a lid off. He’s a smart boy.

Then after this is finished, she finds a small pink fringe off of one of her dress up dresses.

Leah: (in a most excited tone) This is from the sparkly pink dress!
Me:  (also excited) No Way!
Leah:  (still excited) Yes way!
Me:  (matter of factly) What should we do with it?
Leah: (highest level of excitement...)We can throw it away!

And that was it.....I know this probably loses something in the translation but Leah's mannerisms are just so different and I love the way she talks or tells stories.
