The following in an actual conversation between Ella & Jack...who I may rename Abbott & Costello.
Ella: Ring, ring. (she picks up a toy cell phone) Oh, hello, Emma. Yes, I would love to come over for a slumber party.
Jack: I wanna come!
Ella: You can't come, it's girls only.
Jack: I wanna be a girl.
Ella: Well you can't be a girl. You're a boy.
Jack: I'm not a boy! I'm a man! (remember, he's 4)
Ella: Fine, you're a man. But you're not a girl. (Back to the toy cell phone...again, it's a TOY...there's no one on the other end) Sorry Emma, that's my bruh-thuuur.
Jack: Tell Emma I wanna come!
Ella: I told you it's just girls! Do you want to get your nails painted and get a makeover and get dressed up?
Jack: Yes.
Ella: Ugh! (grabbing another toy cell phone) Ring, ring. Jack, it's Tony, he wants you to come over to HIS house.
Jack: Yippee! Mommy, Mommy, Mommy...Tony said I can come over.
Ella: Jack, it's just pretend. Tony didn't really call.
Jack: But Tony's my friend.
Ella: I know. But he's not on the phone.
Jack: But he is.
Ella: No, he's not.
Jack: But you said he is.
Ella: Jack, listen to me. Tony isn't on the phone. It's a toy phone. There's no one on the phone. Because it's not a real phone. We're just playing, see? It's...a...toy!
Jack: (with the most pitiful broken-hearted expression you have ever seen). Oh. Now can I come to Emma's with you?
Ella: Mommy!
I of course pretended not to hear her outraged cry of utter frustration. I was too busy laughing.
I thought I'd die laughing!!!!Thanx so very much for sharing your love and special munchkins. Can't think where they might have gotten that imagination. ;]
