Conversations with my daughter: Not news to us.

[rivka]

Alex (at the dinner table): Papa, are you done?
Michael: I'm working on it.
Alex: Just take oooooone more bite from this green bean. picks a green bean off his plate and offers it to him.
Me: Alex, is it your job to tell Papa what to do?
Alex: nods vigorously.
Me: It is?
Alex: It's my job to tell grownup persons what to do.

I love her phrasing! "Grownup persons." Every time you post one of these, I can't wait for my kid to be able to talk.

Heh. I bet David thinks that too, even if he can't say it.

I think they might be right, too.
