Conversing with Small Children

[Driving home from school today discussing playing freeze dance at Kathryn's birthday party]
Kathryn: I can't dance, I just spin around in circles.
Mommy: You can dance.
Kathryn: I'm a tomboy so I don't dance.
Mommy: Tomboys dance.
Kathryn: Not this tomboy.

[Griping at Juliana for the umpteenth time to go clean up the playroom]
Mommy: Go clean!
Juliana: I'm going to clean (stomping off to playroom; mutters to Kathryn)
Kathryn: Juliana said you're being bossy!
Mommy (chuckling to self): I am being bossy!
