Got a question?
| Beth: | [age 4] "Did you know the Bible says you should love your friends?" |
| Mom: | "Actually, the Bible says you should love your enemies too." |
| Beth: | "It does?!" |
| Mom: | "Yep." |
| Beth: | "Oh man." |
| [Scene: | Beth, age 4, is playing by herself; her mouth is moving as if she is talking, but she's not actually saying anything] |
| Me: | "Beth, who are you talking to?" |
| Beth: | [crossly] "I'm talking to myself." |
| Me: | "Anything you want to talk about?" |
| Beth: | "Boys! Just boys and how stupid they are. Why would anyone want to be their friend? They're just stupid. Even Luke. They're all just stupid." |
| Me: | "Oh." |
| Beth: | "Can I stop talking to you about it? I wasn't done talking to myself." |
| [Scene: | Luke, age 7, has a friend over to play, and they're talking about Beth, age 3] |
| Friend: | "Your sister just said the word 'tropical.'" |
| Luke: | "Yeah?" |
| Friend: | "Yeah. She said the word 'tropical' and she knew exactly what it meant." |
| Luke: | "So?" |
| Friend: | "I think your sister is smarter than you." |
| Luke: | "Oh come on, I know what 'tropical' means." |
| Friend: | "Somehow she acts like she knows it better than you do." |
