Conversations with a preschooler

(Sound of Tess screaming)

Me, rushing into the room: Oh my gosh! How did Tess get Scamps (Roses’s mechanized toy hamster) tangled in her hair!

Rose: I don’t know!

Me: Are you sure?

Rose: Well, I was holding it and it flew out of my hands and landed on Tess.

Me: Did you put Scamps on to Tess’s head, ensuring the mechanized surface was against her hair, and then turned him on?

Rose: Yes.

This afternoon the neighbourhood cat, Ben, wandered in.

Me: Hello, Ben. Have you had your dinner?

Rose, to me: Mummy! He can’t talk!
